Analysis of logistics information flows in the supply chain of Africa Global Logistics Burkina Faso (AGL BF)

The study analyses the management of logistics information flows in the context of the mining supply chain in Burkina Faso, focusing on the case of Africa Global Logistics Burkina Faso (AGL BF), a company specialising in mining transit and international logistics. The aim is to examine how the integration of information systems impacts the efficiency of operations and reduces logistics costs. Data was collected through a mixed-methods survey, including a quantitative study, semi-structured interviews with AGL BF staff and documentary research. The results show good integration of tools such as Outlook and Teams, although gaps are identified with the use of LINK software. The study also highlights the importance of daily meetings and file tracking to ensure smooth coordination. Thus, improving the adaptation of digital tools to user needs could strengthen the competitiveness of Burkina Faso's mining companies by optimising information flows.

Abstract

The study analyses the management of logistics information flows in the context of the mining supply chain in Burkina Faso, focusing on the case of Africa Global Logistics Burkina Faso (AGL BF), a company specialising in mining transit and international logistics. The aim is to examine how the integration of information systems impacts the efficiency of operations and reduces logistics costs. Data was collected through a mixed-methods survey, including a quantitative study, semi-structured interviews with AGL BF staff and documentary research. The results show good integration of tools such as Outlook and Teams, although gaps are identified with the use of LINK software. The study also highlights the importance of daily meetings and file tracking to ensure smooth coordination. Thus, improving the adaptation of digital tools to user needs could strengthen the competitiveness of Burkina Faso's mining companies by optimising information flows.
