  3. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 2011 No. 3 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Background • The Australian Logistics Council is the peak national body representing the major and national companies participating in the Australian freight transport and logistics supply chain. • ALC is the lead advocacy organisation to all levels of Government and industry on freight transport and logistics supply chain regulation and infrastructure issues. • The mission of ALC is to influence national transport and infrastructure regulation and policy to ensure that Australia has safe, secure, reliable, sustainable and internationally competitive supply chains.

  9. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 9 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • History • ALC was established by the Australian Government in September 2002 as a partnership between the Australian Transport & Logistics (T&L) supply chain and Government. • In 2004, ALC restructured into two groups - the full Council and an Executive Committee. In 2005 the ALC set up its own office and employed an Executive Director and support staff. • In 2008 the ALC was established as a not for profit Company, Limited by Guarantee, with a Board of Directors, and Members who are the financial supporters of the Council and the ‘owners’ of the company. • In December 2008, the Government stepped back to allow the industry to fully support the ALC. ALC is now funded entirely by members. • In December 2010 the ALC developed a new Strategic Plan to establish the ALC as the ‘go to’ organisation representing the major and national companies participating in the Australian freight transport and logistics supply chain.

  10. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 10 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Examples of Collaboration between Relevant Government Agencies and Industry on: • Transport logistics supply chain connectivity • Infrastructure Australia provides advice to Australian governments about infrastructure gaps and bottlenecks that hinder economic growth and prosperity. It also identifies investment priorities and policy and regulatory reforms that will be necessary to enable timely and coordinated delivery of national infrastructure investment. Infrastructure Australia is developing a National Freight Network Strategy. • The ALC has made submissions and representations on the National Freight Network Strategy.

  11. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 11 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Examples of Collaboration between Relevant Government Agencies and Industry on: • Improved transparency of the regulatory environment It is the ALC’s objective to advocate for better regulations that often directly create a positive economic impact. Two examples include: • The ALC has made representations and advocated for single national regulators for heavy vehicles and for maritime/rail safety. • Other Government initiatives eg road reform, performance based standards, taxation, work health & safety.

  12. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 12 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations Examples of Collaboration between Relevant Government Agencies and Industry on: Increased awareness of these issues among relevant government agencies and other stakeholders in selected APEC economiesThe National Logistics Safety Code has been developed by the ALC as an industry based risk management Code which sets out clearly all participants’ responsibilities when they control or influence the movement of freight in the supply chain, particularly road transport laws, e.g. chain of responsibility, and occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation.The ALC’s current involvement with this APEC Project is creating increased awareness of other stakeholders in selected APEC economies.

  13. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 13 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Examples of Collaboration between Government and Industry on: • Policies relating to transport logistics supply chain connectivityThe ALC appraises and validates, on behalf of its members, all of the Australian Government’s policy relating to the supply chain industry. Regulations relating to transport logistics supply chain connectivityThe ALC has advocated for single national regulators for heavy vehicles and for maritime/rail safety, which will greatly improve the supply chain connectivity of freight transported interstate.

  14. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 14 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations Economic Impact ALC has advocated for single national regulators for heavy vehicles and for maritime/rail safety. It is expected that development of national regulation for heavy vehicles alone will translate into $12 billion in savings for transport operators and ultimately customers in Australia. Single national regulators for heavy vehicles and for maritime/rail safety are due to be established in 2013. Unnecessary and outdated differences in the rules for heavy vehicles from State to State mean that additional costs were imposed when products were transported across state boards without helping make the system safer or more efficient.

  15. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 15 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Lessons Learned • In our experience, it is detrimental for a new NLA to have limitless government funding. Government seed funding for a NLA should be enough to get established. After the set up phase is complete, it is critical that the NLA formulates a strategy to become financially self sufficient. In our experience, if a strategy is not developed and the funding continues, people and organisations can be attracted to the NLA who are not focused on the NLA’s objectives. • It is critical to communicate effectively with industry and government. It is, however, more critical to constantly reinforce the ALC’s presence and take action when appropriate.

  16. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 16 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Challenges • One of the ALC’s greatest challenges has been to demonstrate that it can represent the major and national companies participating in the Australian freight transport and logistics supply chain. • Benefits • The government receives honest, concise, robust feedback from a single industry voice, specifically in response to proposed supply chain related policy issues. Individual businesses in Industry unite and have a single voice in the ALC. As a single entity that represents the Australian supply chain Industry, the ALC has the opportunity to raise issues and collaborate with government in a way that individual businesses would not be able to organise.

  17. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 17 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Strategy • It is critical to have a strategic plan. • The NLA must be focussed on delivering an aligned set of objectives and actions. It cannot be all things to all people. Without a strategy, a NLA’s purpose is not documented and not achieved. • A copy of the ALC Strategic Plan and the ALC Board Governance Manual are included in your workshop background papers.

  18. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 18 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Success Stories • 2011 ALC Annual Forum • Over 300 delegates and three Ministers attended the 2011 ALC Annual Forum in Melbourne. The theme of the Forum was 'Freight Networks for the Future''. • Retail Logistics Supply Chain (RLSC) Code of Conduct • ALC launched the Retail Logistics Supply Chain (RLSC) Code of Conduct in November 2006. Inaugural signatories include retail majors Woolworths, Coles and Metcash and transport giants Toll and Linfox.

  20. Melbourne Workshop, 5-6 April 201 No. 20 Compendium of Best Practices and Benefits of National Logistics Associations • Conclusion • The ALC is unique in Australia as it is a multimodal, supply chain focussed non profit organisation that directly represents the interests of major and national businesses in the supply chain industry. Supply chain industry associations are able to join as Associate Members.
