STAFF INTERVIEW
Christophe Goudon, Logistics Manager!
WHAT’S YOUR MAIN TASK?
« I oversee all the physical and computerised flows. I make sure of the reliability of the stocks and the external warehouses. . »
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH EUROTAB? IN WHICH POSITIONS?
« I have been with Eurotab since 1994, that’s 28 years! I started at the time of Linossier, there were only a few of us, that was at the beginning of the production of detergent tablets. I had a wide range of tasks, I did a bit of everything, but more machine maintenance, as I am basically from this sector.
I quickly became team leader at our disinfection production site in Saint-Rambert.
In 2001, I joined the logistics department at our detergents site in Saint-Just, as stock and transport manager until 2010. At the time, I wanted to consolidate my experience, so I went back to school to do a "supply chain coordinator" bachelor’s degree where I did a year's work experience at Eurotab. My student project was the ERP migration at Eurotab: from its construction to its setup.
When I finished my work-study programme, I was offered the job of group inventory manager, I did this job for 7 years and I've been the logistics manager since 2018, in the Supply Chain department. »
WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL DAY LIKE?
« I supervise the management of my team of 7 people working as forklift drivers and logistics technicians for shipping/incoming goods and warehousing. We have a team meeting every morning: the supply chain brief. We review the day's activities and the actions to be carried out, as well as any emergencies. This includes the customer service, sourcing-planning and logistics, this communication is essential for the whole supply chain, but also for the other departments.
I'm also involved in project management as part of the continuous improvement of logistics, and I've been Green Belt trained.
I vouch for the reliability of the stock of all the warehouses, of which there are about forty in France and abroad.
The BI reports that I receive every day enable me to manage my operations.
I am in constant contact with our outsourcing warehouses in order to organise incoming raw materials, packaging and other items for manufacturing, as well as finished products to be delivered to our customers. »
WHAT QUALITIES DO YOU NEED FOR THIS POSITION?
« This job requires flexibility and the ability to adapt to many situations, especially in an international context like Eurotab. »
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT EUROTAB?
« What I appreciate about Eurotab is that the management is very approachable and open, we can talk with our superiors. The company is also very training-orientated and supports employee training, which is stimulating. »
WHAT DRIVES YOU ON A DAILY BASIS?
« I need to be on the ground, it’s a must in my daily life. I’m an active person, the 2020 lockdown was difficult, I needed to be on site, I got back to work quickly. »
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST PRIDE AT WORK?
« I feel proud when we manage to improve things. That's how I feel! « All of us can, with very little, improve our daily life! ». »
MORE PERSONALLY: DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES AND/OR ANY SPECIAL INTERESTS?
« I love motorcycles, it's a real passion, I've been riding since I was 5 years old! I really enjoy sports like running and trekking in the mountains, and I recently started fitness training, which allows me to let off steam, as I need it as part of my daily routine. I have been taking guitar lessons for a few months.»
