STRAIGHT TALK FROM DAVID DOHERTY OAM

The sixteenth Annual Queensland Supply Chain & Logistics Conference proved to be a powerful and entertaining event. A long history of presenting outstanding events creates

expectations of excellence and this year the organising team again exceeded those expectations.

The unique environment marries fun, genuine enjoyment, real learning and exploration, alongside value generating personal and business opportunities. Networking is easy (no ‘sweatworking’ here!) and productive. To cap it off there is authentic social responsibility through fund raising for people in need.

I was spellbound as Air Commodore Hayden Marshall described the planning and dangerous operations involved in the redeployment of Australian Troops and equipment from Afghanistan. It was hard for me to imagine how Logisticians could diligently apply Logistics processes so successfully in a life and death environment. We must ensure we support and nurture these outstanding people! Makes you proud to be an Australian and a Logistics person!

Hayden Marshalls presentation will have an on-going impact on me and other Conference participants. A real highlight!

The other theme that excited and enthused me was the focus on people in Supply Chains.

Steve Simpson presented new ideas on “Unwritten Ground Rules” (UGR’s) in organisations. His real world practical examples, and ability to involve all members of the audience, evidence Steve as a master thinker and performer.

I will ADAPT my own outlook to CONNECT with others in a more meaningful way based on the UGR Session.

Steve Simpson another real highlight!

The Session on Unleashing Your Story Telling Superpower knocked me right out! Mark Schenk describes himself as a “Ringmaster”, and he is right! I have been intrigued for a long time by story telling as a persuasive and productive methodology. Mark discussed the ways and means of storytelling with practical examples, good humour, and inimitable style.

Seems nearly everyone has the capacity to be a good storyteller if you first understand the principles and processes. Needs some effort and exploration but well worth giving it a try.

Mark Schenk also a real highpoint for me!

STRAIGHT TALK FROM DAVID DOHERTY OAM Cont’d...

Gary Carroll, Group Logistics Manager Super Retail Group, presented a thought provoking discussion on how they have transformed the Super Retail Group Supply Chains to adapt to changing customer expectations and increased competition over the past three years. In particular I was impressed by the approaches taken in DC Network design, freight models and supplier management, and the challenges experienced in organisational change management in a multi-brand organisation. I was stunned to learn the Super Retail Group has annual revenues in excess of $2 billion dollars! Gary Carroll was a stimulating and innovative force

for practitioners in the real world of Supply Chains and Logistics.

In my own Panel Session dealing with Disruptive Technologies I was interested to learn from the Audience (using the excellent Conference APP):

1. A number of people (albeit a small number) are concerned they will lose their job because of technologies progressing in their work place.

2. The majority are concerned about the risks and danger associated with technologies.

Overall another brilliant, cost effective and value generating Conference in a truly enjoyable environment. Don’t miss the 2016 Conference which will be held on 1&2 September!

A tremendous introduction to the Opening of the Queensland Supply Chain & Logistics Industry Conference made by Vince Aisthorpe the Chairman. Who could not feel excited and

enthusiastic about the conference in its 16th year re-connecting with prominent contacts, having a smorgasbord of the most experienced speakers across the Supply Chain industry there and more leverage for business opportunities attained from a fantastic networking event.

The Queensland Supply Chain & Logistics Conference led by industry associations including the Supply Chain & Logistics Association of Australia, (SCLAA) the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), QUT Business School, CIPS Australia, the Australasian Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) and the South East Queensland Procurement Network group was yet again a resounding success.

Impressive Opening commenced with the address on The Value of Supply Chain Management and Procurement session made by Mr James Fazzino (CEO Incitec Pivot) whose company specialised in Industrial fertilisers, Chemicals and Explosives. James discussed the challenges they faced in regards to the manufacture and supply of volatile commodities in fertiliser, chemicals and explosives.

He highlighted the importance of being able to adapt and connect within their business and the broader supplier community. Incitec Pivot have global facilities and specialises in the transportation of these goods both locally and nationally.

It was a fascinating incite into this large multi national company as to how they manage the Supply Chain process from manufacturing to distributing these goods to key projects across the world.

It was pleasing to hear this CEO speak about gender diversity in the workplace supporting Male Champions of Change http://www.wilma.net.au/male-champions-of-change-in-victoria/ stating that all procurement positions were held and run with precision by 53 women and that this needs to be encouraged in all levels of every organisation to compete more effectively globally.

Interesting that their new manufacturing plant which has just opened in the USA could have been built in Australia, however as James stated due to the legal constraints and processes to build in Australia the quicker option was to build the plant in the USA. James mentioned in the time it would have taken to go through the process of getting the permits to build the factory in Australia, they had built and completed the new plant in the USA. A strategic, adaptive and impressive multi-national led by an impressive leader. Managing the Logistics Outcomes in a highly complex Environment Presented by Air Commodore Hayden Marshall, Chief of Staff, Air Force Headquarters certainly amazed, the sheer volume of logistical ingenuity required for deployment in and out of Afghanistan was a Supply Chain challenge of monumental proportions as an example four million inventory items and 1700 personnel.

The challenge that Hayden shared explained the Supply Chain challenges of getting all the equipment required and to enable this they set up routing offices and Supply Chain stores in countries like Dubai and other surrounding middle east locations at great cost with seamless efficiency. To see the work that went into getting all of their staff, vehicles, inventory items to their post, the process of getting what they needed back home and organising to have the freight destroyed and not required back in Australia was an example of efficiency to all working in the Supply Chain.

Being able to forward plan, monitor conditions and adapt to any changes as required is dealt within transport on a daily basis but the economy of scale The Australian Defence Force dealt with and the challenging environment and conditions was a fine example of logistical mastery. The other highlights, of which there are far too many, were the presentations on RFID, NFC and Rain technologies and how they are changing the face of retail and the future of the industry. Strategic Procurement was enlightening with Tracey Shearer the Director of Group Procurement giving impressive examples of effectiveness through innovation in the health industry.

Other highlights included the future of retail, the undisputed work by GoGorilla using technology in innovative ways for purchases at large events highly successful and worthwhile exploring. The interesting presentations given by Dr Andrew Macnish Horticulture and Forestry Science Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and George Ganzenmuller the Innovation Manager for Orora Limited on support of produce exports cleverly articulated.

Who would not have been inspired by Mark Schenk who not only showed us how to Unleash our Storytelling Superpowers but those who were fortunate enough to see him, spent the rest of the conference with catch cries of stories; in context build connections and have impact, this presentation packed one heck of a punch.

The dinner and awards enjoyable and a great networking opportunity. Spectacular entertainment, auctions, comedy and all expertly hosted by the enigmatic Chairman Vince Aisthorpe, with the amazing committee commandeering the night with swift expertise.

Who could not mention the amazing work and contribution of delegates to Food Bank, who’s campaign raises food and awareness of the hidden issue of hunger in Australia and provides the tools vital to help

people who are struggling to put food on the table for themselves and their families throughout regional and local communities nationally.

I was honoured to be asked by the organisers to present the winner of the 2015 Queensland Information Management Award going to Aurizon and SVS Australia who demonstrated it had made a significant achievement to the application of Information Technology within the Supply Chain.

Other impressive winners mentioned below with a special mention going to Scott and Trent Young who own and run Young Guns Container crew. They are two brothers that started the company from scratch after they finished playing football and it has quickly grown into a national company. They specialise in developing pathways for young people to enter the Supply Chain industry through their container unpack business. Young Guns has moved from being a commoditised labour hire service to becoming an integral function within the members’ supply chains.

The data that Young Guns systems captures is being utilised to drive efficiencies, improve safety and eliminate waste from the supply chain.

The winner of the 2015 Queensland Future Leaders Award is Samantha Lowry, Senior Procurement Advisor, Department of Education & Training.

Two High Commendations were awarded to Danielle Brennan, Category Specialist, Stanwell Corporation and Sameer Latif, Director, Ozzilat – Supply Chain & Logistics.

2015 QUEENSLAND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AWARD The Supply Chain Management Award, which is sponsored by Strategix, is designed to encourage and acknowledge the outstanding achievement of an organisation that has demonstrated significant achievement in managing the integration of Supply Chains.

The winner of the 2015 Queensland Supply Chain Management Award is Young Guns Container Crew. Young Guns Container Crew is a family-owned business that supplies labour to pack and unpack shipping containers around Australia. In 2004 Scott and Trent Young started Young Guns in QLD with 3 employees. The brothers grew up on a large cattle property and were raised on values focused on family, hard work, and respect. These values resonate strongly throughout their business today. Most recently Young Guns’ strategy has shifted to system development.

Young Guns has moved from being a commoditised labour hire service to becoming an integral function within the members’ Supply Chains. The data that Young Guns systems are capturing are being utilised to drive efficiencies, improve safety and eliminate waste from the Supply Chain. Young Guns should also be acknowledged for the work they are doing with young people. They are helping to fight the challenge of an aging workforce in the Supply Chain & Logistics Industry and have provided job opportunities to around 400 young people around Australia; 80 of whom are based in Queensland. The average of the Young Guns workforce is 24.

Finalists were: Stanwell Corporation, Prequalification & Contracts Unit - Department of Transport & Main Roads and Young Guns Container Crew.

QUEENSLAND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AWARD The 2015 Information Management Award will go to the business that can best demonstrate it has made a significant achievement in the application of Information Technology within its Supply Chain.

The winner of the 2015 Queensland Information Management Award is Aurizon and SVS Australia.

SVS Australia (Safety Vision Systems), partnered with Aurizon to provide a solution to identify and improve risk management within their transportation. SVS Australia worked with Aurizon with a view to record video and data over a 90 hour period running on battery power only. This system had to be stand-alone and operate autonomously from any external power supply. The system was to be heavy duty as the environment was described as harsh and needed to record Video footage and G-Force data when the unit was in service.

Aurizon also wanted a system that could pinpoint what was occurring within the transportation of the containers, so that the combined image and data approach would enable Aurizon to make alterations to manage risk and reduce damages to products within their care during transportation. SVS Australia were not only able to achieve what was requested, but provide additional features such as longer recording time, remote login for live data and streaming with more flexible camera options.

Finalists were: 4GM, Aurizon & SVS Australia, ICT Vendor Management Office, RACQ.

The Queensland SCL Awards are the state feeder program for the Australian Supply Chain and Logistics Awards which will be held on the 4th of November at the Dockside Pavilion, Darling Harbour. The ASCL Awards have been running for over 50 years and are the most prestigious in the industry.

“ The thing that I really took away is the following statement: Business is simple but simple is hard. I think that sums up a lot of things and is something I actually needed to hear.”

“ In order to keep up and adapt we must network. We should support industry bodies and conferences so we can all get out there and connect.”

“ A very well-run conference, very smooth and seamless. A learning opportunity of how to sponsor and run a stand at a conference.”

“This was my first time at the conference and I was impressed with the quality of speakers and it has also given me a great insight into the procurement industry in QLD.”

“Wonderful networking opportunity and chance to hear from major Supply Chain professionals in Queensland.”

“I took away from the conference that irrespective of who you work for and where you work we all have similiar aspirations and constraints. The conference is a way of refreshing your motivation and drive and to understand you are not in the problem all on your own.

“Communication, Collaboration and Capability are fundamental keys which unlock the door to supply chain success.”

“I learned that the world of information and sensing has changed forever in the last 5 years. Understanding mass data and getting out of the box to use it will make me competitive, if I stay in the box my business is going to die.”

“Just as easy to damage your Supply Chain Brand through inattention to regressive attitudes and behaviours - prevalent in the Logistics and Supply Chain sector - as through a major incident that makes the headlines. Specifically I enjoyed the ability to network and hear from others in the Procurement field among many industries. The value obtained from workshops and discussions between peers was particularly valuable.”“ If you adapt your message to include some interesting stories, balanced with the topic you want to get across, you make a much better chance to connect with your team and/or customers.”“The Story telling sessions were great.
