6. DAngerous goods risk Management in the SEE Area

7. DAMA scope Focus on the transport of dangerous goods in the SEE area, where hazardous materials transport occurs in large numbers by truck, often without being declared, leading to congestions and increasing the risks of accidents. This situation shall be improved by shifting the transport of the dangerous goods to other modes, such as train and short sea shipping. However, these modes of transport lack attractiveness. Detailed analysis of the current situation in the SEE regions with special emphasis on specific pilot areas.. DAMA aims at understanding, harmonizing & testing actions to promote a rational Intermodal Transport of Dangerous goods.

8. Beneficiaries of DAMA Regions: –Local public administrations able to know the flows of dangerous goods in SEE –The bodies responsible for managing disasters and incidents that will be able to plan measures (risk management approach) Logistic service providers whose services are expected to manage the complexities of multimodal chains for dangerous goods. Railway Companies and Short Sea Shipping Companies in the perspective of an increased demand for their services. Highway operators, expected to reduce their costs by reducing risks of spills and increased throughput as a consequence of reduced congestion. Passenger traffic as a consequence of expected reduced congestion by virtue of modal shift

9. DAMA Technical outcomes Study about regulations for dangerous goods transport taking into account the flows in the SEE area An ICT platform to share information about the flows of dangerous goods –e_document –Tracking and tracing information –New mechanism for collecting information about the flows –A statistical system for analysing the flows of HAZMAT Operating Pilots with real companies and administartion involved The experiemntation of different technologies supporting the risk management approach (e.g.: the RFID active tags for each truck) A policy plan on measures to improve modal shift both at local level and transnational level

10. Logistics Clusters & Transnational transport Chain

11. Scope Need to strengthen the transport and logistics supply which is still highly fragmented in SEE & mainly relying on road transport. Fostering the networking & clustering among transport operators both at regional and transnational level. Planning transnational transport chains which support internationalisation processes of manufacturing systems (strong business relations in SEE). Making transnational transport chains intermodal: from all road to multimodal shift (rail, SSS). Addressing the operations of SEE transport networks on real operative corridors (East-West + North-South).

12. Beneficiaries Transport and logistics SMEs. Manufactoring companiessystem Regional Public Administrations. Business clusters and associations. Multimodal nodes.

13. Technical outcomes Live creation of clusters of transport and logistics SMEs. Modal shift on specific road transport chains by creation of critical masses of freight flows now managed by road operators. New supply chains planning and activation to serve manufaturing systems logistics needs. Transnational policy action plan.

17. METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH (synthesis) The methodological guidelines start from the analysis of the supply chain and from the logistics activities, identifying jobs and the related tasks for each job. The final step is to define skills and training needs connected to jobs in logistics. From the logistics supply chain … Supplying Production Transport and distribution Customers … to competencies passing through the activities Transversal fields of activities Technical fields of activities Tasks and activities Field of competencies According to the methodology, there were identified:  Technical activities, which are process- oriented;  Transversal activities, which are identified in each technical field.

20. 20 New organisational model (1/2) Rationale Health-care costs have a huge impact on the regional budget (700 million € for pharma + consumables = 1.000 million €) The quality of service perceived by the citizen is good in the region But the management costs are ever increasing Objectives Concentrate logistics management and decision power in few points From several Local Health-care organisations to few Wide Areas (for example in Emilia-Romagna we have 3 “Wide Areas”: Bologna, Emilia Nord, Romagna)

21. 21 New organisational model (2/2) Problems How will this centralised model impact on material and sample flows? Focus on distribution of products (minimise distribution cost) Focus on collection of analysis samples (collection has strict time constraints) Attention to quality of service as a whole: time, costs, risks, security Opportunity to improve the whole procurement processes (currently 80% of costs for consumables are in indirect activities)

22. The types of activities to perform are: 1.Collection of good practices all over Europe 2.Several 3-5 days workshops in the participating regions, where regional representatives learn good practices from others, discuss their current practice, contribute to achieve a common understanding and characterise the new European good practice. 3.Exchange of methods (process modelling and re-engineering). 4.Exchange of ICT tools (simulator of collection and distribution flows). 5.Formalisation of new regional policies in participating countries 6.Formalisation of the new European good practice proposal, with a roadmap (at the European and regional level) to implement it INTERREG ACTIVITIES (healh care)

23. Reverse Logistics of Packages and Packaging materials towards an INTERREG IV proposal This proposal addresses return, recycle and disposal of packages and packaging materials. Reverse Logistics is the discipline intended to drive and plan all the activities that are aimed at improving and fully deploying WASTE MANAGEMENT in the EU Member States (ESPECIALLY ELECTRIC AN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENTS WEEE)

24. The rationale of the project is the following: 1.Every single manufacturing or distribution company deals with this issue in its day-by-day activity. 2.Some aspects of the problem call for solutions at the local level, possibly within industrial districts or provinces, especially for what attains waste collection and disposal. 3.Other aspects call for solutions implemented at the regional, national, cross-border and international level, especially for what attains return of reusable packages and recycling of specific materials. 4.Then, best practices can be studied at the local level and compared with those developed in other regions to tackle similar situations. 5. Also international pilot cases can be designed and developed to some extent. INTERREG ACTIVITIES (REVERSE LOGISTIC)
