GS1 Australia provides guidance for mine-hunters
The need for more efficient and effective defence operations has led nations around the world to reassess the way their defence departments deliver logistics support. Australia is no exception and our Department of Defence has engaged GS1 Australia's Professional Services Team to generate supply chain efficiencies and improve visibility.
The Department of Defence's Lieutenant Commander Robert Jude, Integrated Logistics Support Manager, said the project was progressing very well to date. "This will be an ongoing activity for the next few months and now we are looking forward to developing a business case," he said.
The lead GS1 Australia's Professional Services Senior Advisor said the team was delighted to have the opportunity to work with the Defence Materiel organisation. "The mine-hunters face a special set of issues and it has been a challenge to work to overcome these in their supply chain. The implementation project provides a solution to address these challenges in an effective manner, leveraging the interoperability of the GS1 System with other NATO members through the GS1/NATO Technical Cooperation agreement," he said.
