Follow on Google News | Systems Integration talk traceability in CanadaUK software house, Systems Integration, are continuing to work closely with the Canadian food sector.
Rob was invited to speak by Martin Gooch, Director of the Value Chain Management Centre. His presentation focused on what has driven traceability in Britain and how businesses have been able to improve profitability by using this information to identify and rectify inefficiencies, increasing the effectiveness of their operations. “It was an honour to work with such important Canadian initiatives, as well as the people involved in the value chain” says Rob Stephens. “My key message to delegates was that traceability is simply the result of effective business management and how in order to become efficient, firms need to ensure that they are managing the true cause of problems, not just the symptoms”. “Business schools and universities are good at teaching managers to focus their efforts on being efficient within their own business” added Martin Gooch. “However, we believe that the best way to create a unique and defensible value proposition is by managing the value chain in relation to the demands of a specific segment of the consumer market. Overall, the food industry has been slow to recognise the competitive advantages that can be realised through consciously managing businesses in this manner. Rob shared lessons learned from assisting UK businesses to make this transition”.
