PEAK 3.0 – ACE

PEAK (Purchasing European Association for Knowledge) – Attractiveness, Skills and Jobs (ACE)

The PEAK 3.0 – ACE project is led for the IREGE laboratory by Richard CALVI in collaboration with Marie Anne LE DAIN (G-Scop – INPG).

Initiated by Thésame, it is a continuation of the PEAK project (Purchasing European Association for Knowledge) started about ten years ago and aims to facilitate the development and dissemination of research in the field of customer-supplier relations in industrial sectors.

On this theme, it corresponds to an order from the PFA (Plateforme de la Filière Automobile) and its “Attractiveness, Skills and Jobs” (ACE) program. In this context, PEAK has been commissioned by the PFA to build a “Competency reference for collaborative supplier management”. Richard Calvi and Marie Anne Le Dain are the experts in charge of providing the structure and the content developed by PEAK in the form of a competency repository.

To date (November 2020) a “beta” version of this repository exists. The year 2021 will be the year of the confrontation with the actors and the creation of a site intended to promote and accompany its use. This is a knowledge transfer project that follows ten years of research by Richard Calvi on the theme of co-development between customers and suppliers and a dozen publications on the same theme.

Project dates: March 2019 – April 2021
