GALIA

Groupement pour l’Amélioration des Liaisons dans l’Industrie Automobile

OUR STRATEGY

In addition to the existing standard corpus maintenance, GALIA develops new strategic projects for future standardization items. This is the aim of our three years strategic plan, defined by our board of directors, and based on the automotive industry priorities.

It is built around four pillars, a foundation and an ambition: “Value for Money”, with the goal of delivering a significant return on investment for participating companies.

The four pillars:

  1. “Supply chain Standardization”: Our standards, along with those of our partners, are well known for their performance and widespread adoption. Integrating them enables a fast and efficient implementation with minimal resources. This year, three key projects are in the spotlight: sharing Supply Chain best practices to optimize and deploy our standards, cybersecurity with the ongoing deployment of TISAX certification, and e-invoicing, supported by national and EU regulations.
  2. “Sustainable Supply Chain”: The supply chain of the future must be sustainable, with ambitious goals to reduce CO2 emissions from transportation, implement zero-waste packaging, and aggregate ESG data throughout the supply chain. These are major challenges that will reshape supply chain management in the coming years.
  3. “Integrated Extended Enterprise”: We all dream of managing the supply chain end to end instead of one to one. And the future of the automotive industry will need that managing supplies from tier-n to OEM. These 3 projects are focusing on that.
  4. “Next Generation Challenges”: The new frontiers of the supply chain! We must adapt to the future of the automotive industry (autonomous driving, electric vehicles…) and evolving technology. Special attention will be given to the potential of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide innovative solutions.

To support these initiatives, GALIA also serves as a training center for the automotive industry, continuously updated to align with evolving standards. Additionally, it acts as a forum for exchange within the automotive supply chain—not only in France, as historically the case, but now also on an international scale. All nationalities are welcome to participate!

Let’s work together to create value for our industry—“Value for Money”!
