Slow moving parts should not have slow moving supply chains.  Motion Asia Pacific has been working on designing out the points in its supply chain that slows product flow down, including:

– Network design

– Creating new functionality in the planning tools

– Staff training through many parts of the business

Creating the correct mix of people, skills and creative thoughts is all a part of the challenge and then you throw in a pandemic which focuses the mind even more.

Adnan Qureshi, Category Manager, SA Health

Streamlining HealthCare Technology Procurement by implementing Project Management Techniques

A 350 bed tertiary care hospital was facing a huge challenge to acquire technology to modernise and upgrade its ageing asset bases. The on-time delivery rate was about 20 per cent with no visibility of projects in the pipeline.  Management deployed an automated workflow system assuming it would address the problem, but the problem aggravated instead.

Adnan introduced the idea of implementing fundamental project management techniques and faced huge resistance from the users and stakeholders citing lack of time and seeing no benefits in the approach.

Adnan persevered, piloting the work on a smaller scale, creating excel based project timelines, assigning a dedicated project manager and scheduling regular reviews.  The process soon expanded to the entire program.  And, after one year, the on-time project delivery increased to 80 per cent, while having a full view of the project’s portfolio for the next 12 -18 months available to the executives.

Turning the lights on dark store logistics – JB, you’ve done it again!

Discover how logistics technology enabled JB HiFi to successfully pivot and accelerate its e-commerce fulfilment strategy in direct response to COVID. As major retailers plunged into darkness during the mass shutter of retail operations, JB HiFi partnered with RADARO to enable a rapid and seamless transition into a same day, “dark store” logistics strategy that saw more than 80,000 orders fulfilled directly by retail staff over a 10 week period.

Enabling Supply Chain Procurement through Integrated Logistics Support

For many organisations the importance of effective Supply Chain Procurement has only grown in the 21^st century. A key driver being the uncertainty and challenging economic conditions we face today globally. Organisations are operating in an environment where resilience is key and limited resources must be utilised to achieve the greatest effect.

The discipline of Integrated Logistics Support is a key enabler for organisations to maximise asset performance whilst minimising cost. To achieve success in today’s challenging conditions an understanding of logistics requirements for complex systems is required. This includes areas such as Reliability Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS); Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA); Maintenance Requirements Determination (MRD) and Life Cycle-Cost Management (LCCM).

Forming an understanding of the elements of Industry 4.0 and how it fits within the broader supply chain

The proliferation of the internet coupled with advancements in industrial automation and data storage/analytics presented an opportunity to merge the physical and cyber worlds to create a smart factory. Industry 4.0, or the 4th industrial evolution, embodies this movement.

In Industry 4.0, a marriage of advanced industrial automation and smart digital technologies promises the creation of a digital enterprise that goes beyond real time connectivity by leveraging data to drive intelligent decisions in the physical world. It’s marked by the emergence of capabilities such as robotics, analytics, artificial intelligence and cognitive technologies, nanotechnology, quantum computing, wearables, the Internet of Things, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials.

In a nutshell, the onset of Industry 4.0 is changing the way businesses and industries carry out business. It presents both opportunities and challenges and can significantly increase Australia’s economic competitiveness, with automation alone set to provide a $2.2 trillion boost to our national income between 2015 and 2030 from productivity gains.
