Supply Chain & Logistics


An efficient supply chain system and an effective logistics strategy are integral to the success of any business.

Supply chain and logistics activities move products or services from supplier to manufacturer, facilitating the transformation of raw materials and components into finished products delivered to customers.

By having the right supply chain system and logistics strategy in place, your business can save costs, improve delivery efficiency and increase competitiveness.

Through the Centre for Innovation, we deliver services that help companies to improve their supply chains and logistics. These include:

  • Forums to educate companies about inbound and outbound logistics management strategies and supply chain processes and techniques.
  • Programs to assist implementation of new management strategies and supply chain processes and techniques.
  • Advice to help businesses achieve cost reductions and improve delivery times.
  • Assistance with establishing business cases and change management plans.
  • Advice on the latest logistic management strategies and supply chain processes.
  • Mentoring for companies willing to participate ongoing improvement programs.

The Department of Industry and Trade (DTED) also plays an active role in developing the State’s transport storage and logistics sector and building business partnerships.

Working closely with the private and public sectors, we are committed to developing new sustainable transport and storage ventures that will assist local businesses to become more competitive.
