Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The project will deliver resource efficient methodologies, by combining existing tools in a unique way, that allow food and drink manufacturers and their supply chains to identify and measure key cost drivers. The resulting methodology will enable logistics and supply chain managers to more accurately identify and assess where the major areas of waste that lie in the process for individual products and customers. They will then be able to apply resource to improving the time element or cost element depending on the significance of the competitive advantage that will result. The project will make a significant contribution to the IMI priorities of'networks, clusters and chains' and 'performance measures' and the IMI Process Industries priorities of responsiveness to the global market and customer needs.
