The role of a Supply Chain Manager is crucial in a company. Indeed, a mistake in the supply chain can have huge consequences on production, on transport and ultimately on the customer. Understanding how Amazon packages travel from the other side of the world to your home without getting lost on the way, discovering the tools used to locate them, understanding what happens at customs, ... all these aspects fascinated me! Moreover, in Supply Chain, there are a lot of possibilities of innovations and improvements, either through the implementation of disruptive technologies or the implementation of sustainable solutions.
