1. Driving Future Fleet Management Conference Michael Kilgariff, Managing Director, Australian Logistics Council
20 September 2016

2. Australia’s freight logistics industry
Technology - a critical enabler to improving the efficiency and safety of Australia’s logistics industry
1% improvement in supply chain efficiency = $2 billion boost to the economy

5. Using Technology to Improve Supply Chain visibility

6. Using Technology to Improve Heavy Vehicle Safety
Devices such as MTData’s Talon table can track location, speed, fatigue etc
ALC is lobbying for the mandatory roll out of this technology across the heavy vehicle fleet

7. ALC supports Heavy Vehicle Investment Reform
Australian governments need to consider a broader system of transport pricing
It is critical that the funds collected are invested in the infrastructure used by the vehicle
The revenue must follow the freight

8. Now Is the Time to Get the Supply Chain Right
Australian Logistics Council Chairman Ian Murray AM being interviewed for ALC’s new video Now is the Time to Get the Supply Chain Right

9. National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy
A ‘white paper’ for the logistics industry, to be developed by Infrastructure Australia, that should:
map nationally significant supply chains
evaluate the adequacy of the institutional frameworks
identify the key bodies overseeing their efficient operation; and
recommend reforms and investments to enable the more efficient movement of freight.

10. Protecting our Infrastructure Assets
Containerised freight at Port Botany is predicted to triple between now and 2045.
It is critical that the port, and its industrial precincts, are protected from urban encroachment

11. Conclusion Supply chain efficiency matters to all Australians
Without an efficient and effective supply chain, all those things people take for granted every day will be less available, and when it is, it will be more costly.
Effective fleet management is an integral component of this.
