A logistics crossroads between northern Europe and the Mediterranean, the Lyon area offers exceptional logistics conditions to every industrial company. SXE Consulting optimises the supply chains of all industries in the Lyon region — mechanical engineering, chemicals, logistics or any other sector — inventory, S&OP, flows — using a hands-on method with a 30-day diagnostic.
With the Port Édouard-Herriot, the Rhône corridors and the platforms of eastern Lyon, the region enjoys exceptional logistics infrastructure — which manufacturers' internal supply chains do not always exploit. Excessive inventory, unreliable forecasts, falling service levels: the symptoms are familiar and the remedies proven. A typical assignment: a mechanical equipment manufacturer in the Lyon metals sector significantly shortened its delivery lead times by reorganising its flows and its S&OP, while appreciably lowering its inventory — we understand the challenges of the chemicals valley as well as those of every other industrial sector in the region. We work across the whole metropolitan area and its surroundings: Saint-Étienne, Villefranche-sur-Saône, Vienne, Bourgoin-Jallieu.
Port Édouard-Herriot, rail freight, multimodal platforms: we build the logistics assets of the Rhône valley into your inbound and outbound flows.
Complex manufacturing supply chains are our daily business — mechanical engineering, the chemicals of the valley, food processing, pharmaceuticals or any other sector.
