Technological innovation and change in supply chain integration

在研究能够改变澳大利亚工业绩效的新兴技术时，我们致力于以下优先目标：更好地了解将促进知识和促进技术创新发展的过程；射频识别(RFID)技术在整个供应链中的潜在应用；以及改进产品存储、分发和交付中的信息管理(智能信息使用)。供应链运营效率和绩效的提高将增加国民财富，同时将对环境的影响降至最低，例如通过更好地利用重型货运公司。

In examining emerging technology that can transform the performance of Australian industry we address the following priority goals: better understanding the processes that will advance knowledge and facilitate the development of technological innovations; the potential application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies across an entire supply chain; and the improved management of information in the storage, distribution, and delivery of products (smart information use). Improvement in the operational efficiency and performance of the supply chain will increase national wealth while minimising environmental impacts on the environment, for example, through the better utilisation of heavy freight carriers.
