Linkage Projects - Grant ID: LP100200389

Funded Activity Summary

Factors influencing the adoption and diffusion of supply chain technology standards in Australia. This project seeks to enable more organisations to use technologies such as bar codes and radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. Studies show that 3.5 per cent of sales are lost due to information inefficiencies, 30 per cent of inventory records have errors, and 60 per cent of all invoices have errors. These types of errors and losses can be reduced through use of these technologies because they enable more efficient and effective flow of goods and services. All four industry sectors we will study can benefit from these technologies: reduced errors and better service delivery in the healthcare sector; improved quality control and reduced transportation costs for primary producers; improved coordination and reduced transport related carbon emissions for automotive manufacturing and fast moving consumer goods sectors.
