Schneider creates a culture of excellence
Gartner is the world’s leading research and advisory company that provides business leaders with insights, advice and tools to build successful organisations through research. Gartner's research into Supply Chain reveals that the top trends that emerged across leading European supply chains were digital experimentation, speed to adaptability and a focus on sustainability.
"The bedrock of these successful trends are core foundational themes - common to all leading supply chain organizations - that have created a culture of excellence and relentless drive to continuously improve," said Stan Aronow, research vice president at Gartner. These common themes include global scale, local responsiveness, multiple models through segmentation, collaboration, investors in talent and technology, and culture of excellence and masters of change.
Schneider Electric puts customers and sustainable practices first
When Schneider Electric shares their sustainable development vision with suppliers, they place customers at the center of this message. Schneider Electric’s tailored supply chain is mindful of the diverse practices, standards, and values of the 100+ countries in which they present.
Schneider Electric works with sectors that account for the majority of global energy consumption and its corresponding CO2. Therefore, they are especially committed to making sure their own products and solutions help reduce both energy use and CO2 emissions - from design to manufacturing to shipping and deployment to products’ end-of-life.
A year of digital transformation for Schneider
"We are very pleased with breaking into the top 5 on Gartner’s Europe list. This last year has been one of intensified digital transformation for us, especially accelerated with our Smart Factory deployments in Europe (and elsewhere) as part of our Tailored Sustainable Connected 4.0 supply chain journey. This award is entirely due to the tireless efforts of our Global Supply Chain employees, and their individual contribution to delivering customer, quality and supply chain excellence", said Mourad Tamoud, executive VP, Global Supply Chain Operations, Schneider Electric.
“With the deployment of Schneider’s own EcoStruxure solutions in our sites, we have demonstrated our internal successes in digitization initiatives to customers.
