SENIOR ADVISORY
Value proposition
I was a « regular » consultant within various « regular » consulting firms and I even contributed to the creation of one of them. My own development and wish to live another way of consulting within an economic environment, which has drastically changed and implies new value propositions, pushed me to the position of Senior Advisor. This positioning enables me to provide a technical expertise and a management experience to advise the Executive Committees and the supply chain organizations in their transformation decisions at both short and longer term.
I play a role of facilitator between the stakeholders in the company (Top management, functional heads such as production operations, sales, purchasing, marketing, finance, HR,…).
My personal value proposition encompasses:
Methodology
questionnaires, assessment matrix on supply chain maturity, formalization of the transformation plan including the work packages;
Change agent
coach the internal teams, lead interviews with the key decision-markets, animate workshops, participate to the executive committees meetings and to the project steercos ;
Benchmark
my business networks and the long-term relationships developed with the supply chain actors enable me to set up focused benchmarks;
Technical expertise
supply chain and logistics models, formalization of the vision and the mission of supply chain, governance and organization models (central / local), Service Level Agreements and Service Charters formalization, performance of the Customer Service departments, planning strategies (MTS/MTO), financial dimensions of supply chain management, stock models, selection and implementation of 4.0 solutions.
Missions
I work either alone in face-to-face with a decision-maker, or in a project supported by an internal team of consultants or by mobilizing a team of external consultants pre-selected by the client or selected by me. This approach enables an optimal acquisition of the results of the mission by the company’s stakeholders and consequently its sustainability.

Essilor International, 2018
Michel has been instrumental in helping us develop our world class supply chain initiative in the last four years. In addition to his thorough mastering of the topic he has brought an outstanding ability to mobilize the management teams in very diverse cultural environments. A real change agent.
Claude-Alain Tardy, CEO Gypsum and Isover, Saint-Gobain, 2018
Michel FENDER est intervenu chez Fillon Technologies suite à ma demande car je souhaitais faire passer à mon groupe (2 usines, 7 filiales à l’étranger) une nouvelle étape de maturité en Supply Chain Management. Sur les 2 années de son intervention, Michel a démontré qu’il était la personne qu’il nous fallait: expertise stratégique quand il s’agissait de lancer des nouvelles bonnes pratiques dans notre organisation, pragmatisme opérationnel quand il fallait tenir compte de nos limites ou de nos spécificités, et enfin intelligence tactique dans les inévitables questions de gestion du changement. J’ai moi-même évolué dans différentes organisations à travers les 5 continents et j’avoue n’avoir encore jamais rencontré un consultant qui cumulait aussi bien ces 3 formes d’expertise. Aujourd’hui, Fillon Technologies a clairement franchi un palier de maturité et je tenais à remercier Michel pour sa contribution. »
Sébastien Reinbold, Président Directeur Général, Fillon Technologies, 2018
Saint-Gobain having launched 3 years ago a strategic transformation program of its Glass Division’s supply chain, we are supported all along this program by Michel.
He is bringing his large experience on possible Supply chain models and more important, he is helping us to assess pragmatically how our supply-chain could efficiently grow value inside our specific business. Michel co-builds solutions closely with our in house teams, what enables them to learn and to grow as well.

Pascal Haond, Directeur Industriel, Vallourec Oil & Gas, 2016
De par son expertise de haut niveau de la supply chain, et son expérience dans l’implémentation d’organisations à travers le monde, ma collaboration étroite avec Michel fut un élément déterminant dans la mise en place de la supply chain monde SWM, et un élément clés de succès dans l’atteinte des objectifs fixés par mon corporate.
