ROLE



‘Supply chain management offers significant opportunities for companies located in Ireland to compete in global markets. InterTradeIreland should ensure it is on the agenda in the Boardroom of every company in Ireland’

‘The development and implementation of integrated information systems is a fundamental aspect of supply chain management’

‘InterTrade Ireland should encourage appropriate Government bodies, trade associations etc to act as ‘honest brokers’ in encouraging the development of collaborative efforts between companies in areas such as strategic sourcing and effective procurement of materials and servicing common customer bases’

Supply Chain Logistics and Transportation on the Island of Ireland - An Integrated Study


Supply Chain Development/Management

Legislative imperative for InterTradeIreland:- “Promotion of north-south trade and supply chains,

including through business linkages and partnerships ”Strategic imperative:-

All Island trade opportunities SCM involves - company relationships, flows of information, logistics, manufacturing process and management techniques

ITI’s corporate plan 2002-2004 highlights a priority area for the organisation, within the knowledge channel domain of its strategy, as being: ‘to maximise the potential of supply chain management on the island’


For InterTradeIreland InterTradeIreland must produce ‘added value’ Be SME focused Demonstrate a need to build capacity Demonstrate a need for broad solutions Be all Ireland in scope

From research and consultation – Has to be of value to industryHas to build on what is already in place Must not duplicateHas to be flexible enough to allow different companies, sectors and themes to be incorporatedHas to be sustainable

Programme Principles arising from CMI Report


Improve competitivenessGenerate innovationHelp ‘oil’ cross border trade opportunitiesBridge -

* Differences in programme provision across the Island* Differences in capacity to support* ..and share differences in company practice

North/South programme provision versus boundary-less business – business is borderless, programme provision is notApposite timing

The Need – An all-Island supply chain programme


The Problem - How to get companies, institutions and partners, to share best practice and work together cross-border where possible to apply SCM tools and techniques to raise SME competitivenessThe Solution - The creation of a facilitated all-Island forum/network to:

•Promote an awareness of supply chain issues and their importance to competitiveness•Close gaps in capacity to support SME’s in tackling supply chain issues•Bridge differences in programme provision•Share best practice•Generate and build on innovative programmes that utilise supply chain techniques•Raise the competitiveness of SME’s •Generate all-island trade opportunities

to a particular task or business function such as transport management or

warehouse management) to ‘enterprise’ solutions through to applications for the

management of the total supply chain

SUPPLY CHAIN SOFTWARE DIRECTORY - NITL


CLUSTERS•Have established over time a relatively high degree of collaboration•Usually based on local / historical / sectoral agglomerations and supply linkages•Traditional sectoral specialisation in a relatively restricted geographical area•The Italian industrial districts, e.g. the Emilia region, are good examples of cluster development

SUPPLY CHAINS TO CLUSTERS & NETWORKS


NETWORKS:Collaboration is more ad-hoc and less structural

Firms collaborate to satisfy specific needs (R&D, market information etc.)

Networks of firms are less bound by close communication

Clusters usually involve networking/Specialised networks of firms may evolve into clusters


•Between Firms - Adaptive, non-hierarchical forms of networks

•Within Firms - Set of organisational principles replacing hierarchical firm

•Increasing relevance of specialisation and expertise

•Globalisation

•Technological Discontinuities

NETWORKS & CLUSTERS TO ‘VIRTUAL ORGANISATIONS’
