Welcome to the Supply Chain BAHS website.

On this site you can –

• Review the work done to date within industry to improve the performance of international supply chains
• Access reports, figures, presentations
• Register to attend a whole-of-supply-chain awareness face-to-face session (some with on the ground tours)
• Log on to use the sea and air freight models, showing detailed interactions at every step of moving your freight
• Take the quiz and be recognised as a BAHS aware supply chain practitioner or freight buyer.

Behind every world-class supply chain is an astute customer teamed with suppliers, all working collaboratively to achieve value in a highly complex and time-critical environment.

Supply chain BAHS offers a unique opportunity to raise awareness of how international supply chains operate. Gaining a whole-of-supply-chain perspective will help you to

• Understand what happens to your products when they leave your premises and how they get to your business
• Appreciate the business imperatives and role of each link in international supply chains
• Identify savings, more efficient processes and share the benefits with your supply chain partners and customers
• Learn how the actions you take in your business affect others; how one error can create knock-on impacts; and how getting it right first time can benefit an entire supply chain.

Stage I of BAHS has delivered a rich resource of supply chain knowledge to be shared among the trade and supplier community;

Staff with an understanding of the entire supply chain work with greater sense of purpose and are better equipped to respond proactively and productively.

A workforce trained with consistency is able to communicate more effectively and have greater problem solving ability.

Companies with well-trained, knowledgeable employees are able to adapt to change more effectively, seize market opportunities more readily and are more resilient.

Nowhere is the need for high level planning and coordination more evident than in the time-sensitive freight market which includes important Australian farm and food processing exports.

Intended Audience

• International shippers (Importers / Exporters)
• Students
• Suppliers of transport and logistics services
• Regulators

So they can become more aware of the dynamics of their supply chain and understand the business imperatives of their suppliers, which can help them work out collaborative solutions.
