Sanofi Supply Chain Transformation

Over the last several years, Sanofi has embarked on a transformation program of Digital Supply Chain processes, and related information systems, including distribution, customer service, and planning systems.

Under the main transformation program SCCORE, a major stream is Supply Chain Planning, which includes the implementation of the Kinaxis planning system covering forecasting and demand planning, S&OP/IBP, Distribution Resource Planning (DRP), multi-sites planning (MSP), and CMO collaboration, as a Core Model.  The Kinaxis Core Model is being progressively implemented worldwide for each Global Business Unit.

SCCORE has evolved to support the ambitions of the recently launched Smart Supply Chain program which has a main objective to implement a smart supply chain from supplier to patient. SCCORE and Smart Supply Chain are taking place in parallel with, and in support of, other company strategic programs such as iSHIFT program (integrated ERP for Manufacturing, Distribution and Finance).

These transformation programs are aligned with an agile transformation and the evolution of our ways-of-working to become more flexible, adaptable, collaborative, and user-centric.
