Geographical Scope
Europe (EMEA focus – Europe)

1. Problem / Opportunity Statement

Currently, Corteva does not have a single, structured, and documented view of end‑to‑end product flows across Europe, especially for:

• Bulk deliveries via isotanks

• Imports into Europe via dry containers and isotanks

• Packed road transportation flows within Europe

This lack of consolidated visibility limits:

• End‑to‑end supply chain understanding

• Risk analysis (single points of failure, compliance exposure)

• Network optimization and future automation initiatives

• Knowledge retention (flows are known by individuals, not institutionalized)

2. Project Objectives

Primary Objective

Create a centralized and standardized library of all major product flows in Europe, covering bulk, containerized, and packed road transportation.

Specific Objectives

• Map all bulk isotank flows in Europe, identifying for each flow:

  • Shipping point (origin plant / supplier)

  • Storage point(s) (intermediate terminals, warehouses)

  • Final destination (plant, warehouse, customer)

  • This input is needed to extend/update the isotank tracking tool in place for Cernay

• Apply the same mapping logic to:

  • Imports into Europe using dry containers

  • Packed road transportation flows within Europe

• Define and document a standard flow structure usable across all product categories.

• Build a sustainable flow library that can be:

  • Maintained over time

  • Reused for analysis, onboarding, audits, and network design

3. Scope

In Scope

• Bulk product flows in isotanks (Europe)

• Dry container imports into Europe

• Packed road transportation flows in Europe

• Identification of:

  • Shipping point

  • Storage point(s)

  • Destination

  • Transport mode(s)

• Standard flow classification and naming convention

• Creation of a structured “flow library” (Excel / SharePoint / database‑ready format)

Out of Scope

• Cost modeling or rate negotiation

• Carrier performance evaluation

• Contractual reviews

• Detailed route optimization (distance, CO₂, cost)

4. Key Deliverables

• Flow Mapping Inventory

  • Master list of all identified flows by transport type

• Standard Flow Template

  • One harmonized structure for all flows

• Flow Library

  • Central repository (SharePoint / OneDrive) with:

    • Searchable, structured data

    • Clear ownership and update logic

• Summary & Insights Document

  • Key observations (complexity, redundancies, risks)

  • Recommendations for future use

5. Success Criteria

• ≥90% of known European flows documented

• One standardized structure used across all transport modes

• Flow library validated by EMEA Logistics

• Flow library reusable for:

  • Network design

  • Risk assessments

  • Digital / AI initiatives

6. Stakeholders

• EMEA Logistics

• Order Fulfillment

• Transportation & Distribution

• Warehousing

• Trade & Compliance (indirectly)

7. Timeline (High Level – indicative)

• Phase 1: Bulk isotank flows mapping

• Phase 2: Dry container imports mapping

• Phase 3: Packed road flows mapping

• Phase 4: Consolidation, validation & handover
