Extracting More Value From The Australian
Freight Supply Chain

The Australian Logistics Council
The Australian Logistics Industry
Adds more than $130 billion to the Australian economy each year.
This represents 8.6% of Australia’s GDP.
Employs 1.2 million Australians.
Every 1% efficiency improvement boosts GDP by $2 billion.
The National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy
Completion of a National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy high priority for ALC.
This strategy has also been recommended by Infrastructure Australia.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced such a Strategy would be developed in November 2016. Work is now underway.
Stage One: The Inquiry
Conducted throughout 2017, guided by an Expert Panel.
127 submissions, plus face-to-face consultations.
First time that whole-of-supply-chain issues examined from a national perspective.
What the Inquiry Found…
Inquiry Report released in May 2018 makes recommendations in five critical action areas:
- Integration - Measurement - Planning - Capacity - Community Awareness
Laying The Foundation Released in June 2018 as the first
in a series of Discussion Papers designed to help implement the Strategy.
Recommendations tie directly to the Inquiry Report, and are things the Commonwealth can action now
Data is ‘The New Oil’ in logistics
Key theme in the Inquiry Report is lack of data about supply chain performance.
Quality of data is another pressing challenge.
Standards and interoperability
Data Also Crucial To Freight’s Social Licence Freight needs not well understood by
community at large.
Lack of data a contributing factor to this.
Inquiry recommends ABS establish a Transport Satellite Account.
Will also help with infrastructure planning.
Enhancing Supply Chain Visibility
Australian Transport Standards for Freight Labelling and EDI launched at ALC Forum 2016.
Industry blueprint to help drive
improvements in the efficiency, interoperability, visibility and productivity of freight movement.
Benefits of Better Supply Chain Visibility
Investigating the Potential Benefits of
Enhanced End to End Supply Chain
Visibility launched at ALC Forum 2017.
Based on real-time industry pilots
Economic benefits could exceed
$1billion.
Barriers to Overcome Continuing industry perception that the cost
outweighs the benefit. Lack of bespoke IT systems and non-standard
data formats - and a lack of collaborative mindset.
Smaller companies often lack the resources and capacity to implement new approaches.
Industry’s Objectives For Technology
Enabling improved freight and supply chain performance and safety outcomes;
Ensuring consistency and/ or interoperability between infrastructure networks;
Avoiding duplication of technology requirements, including hardware and software; and
Reducing operational costs
Harnessing the Power of Telematics
ALC supports the mandatory use of telematics in heavy vehicles.
This will help drive improved road safety, but is also vital for planning road infrastructure, and determining road access and pricing in the future.
Has been talked about for long enough – action needed.
