    IEE Echternach’s Supply Chain Day on Thursday 16th April 2015

Taking place on Thursday 16th April 2015, with an additional day on Thursday 23rd April, the Supply Chain Day gave IEE the opportunity to give students, school children, teachers and the family members of IEE employees a behind the scenes look and how the global company manages its logistics.

“For many people, logistics is all about trucks, trains, or ships delivering cargo from points A to point B,” says Thomas Mayer, IEE’s Director Global Manufacturing and Logistics. “But while this is part of it, the logistics branch is about so much more.

“Making sure that the right goods and equipment are in the right place at the right time needs an entire team of people, each with a specific job to do to make sure the whole supply chain works,” he says.

“By taking part in the Supply Chain Day and opening the doors to our Echternach site, we had the opportunity to show how complex, diverse, and rewarding production logistics can really be.”

But for the 82 attendees, the day was about more than just observation.

“We wanted to show the attendees what production logistics means for IEE,” says Mr. Mayer. “That included how important it is for our day-to-day business, what our Supply Chain Team does, and how each of the individual logistics tasks fits together. But we didn’t want to just show them what we do – we also wanted them to be able to experience it for themselves. So everyone had the chance to see how good their own logistic skills are by taking part in our supply chain activity – the duck game.

“As in 2014, the day was a great success with a lot of positive feedback,” he says. “But as the official event took place during the Luxembourg school holidays, we knew that some interested people may have missed out. That’s why we organized a second Supply Chain Day on Thursday 23rd April, where we are looking forward to giving two more groups a behind-the-scenes look at our logistics operation.”
