Innovation
ALC works across all divides in logistics, between industry and government, between levels of government, and between competitors at an industry level. This means that ALC is ideally positioned to create ways in which this innovative knowledge can be shared for the good of the industry and for Australia’s competitive position internationally.
Action
The focus of ALC on innovation has been a major priority in 2005. The primary activity has been driven by the ALC User Steering Group. This has been the completion of a consultancy conducted by Lucis Pty Ltd to collect, record, evaluate and publish a small number of case studies and to build a ‘Logistics Innovation Toolkit’ drawing on the lessons learned.
This project has culminated in:
A proposal for a next stage of this work is under review. This stage, if it proceeds, would include the further development and road testing of the toolkit at ten workshops around Australia and the further development and promotion of the web-based support tool.
