Project i-TRACE

The ARA is working with GS1 Australia and participating organisations through Project i-TRACE which is aimed at reducing costs and improving the quality of materials management processes.

 

Standardising the way materials in the rail industry supply chain are identified and marked will bring industry wide efficiencies for all stakeholders. It will provide the critical foundation for electronic data capture and the ability to simplify the exchange of information across operators, manufacturers, suppliers and contractors. The ARA has established a working group involving operators and suppliers who have agreed to a collaborative approach to improving inbound supply chain processes. Further information on how your organisation can take action is available here.

 

Over the coming months, the ARA is holding a number of supplier workshops to help suppliers understand what they need to do to move this initiative forward and the tools available to support the project’s implementation.

 

Supplier workshops will be held at:

• Melbourne (23 May - Workshop Agenda)
• Sydney (16 May, 12 July - Worshop Agenda)
• Brisbane (17 May, 11 July - Workshop Agenda)
• Perth (20 June)
