For this reason it will be what I call an information-based organisation” (Economist 2009). • In the British government’s 1998 White Paper on the competitiveness of the nation, it said: “Our success depends on how well we exploit our most valuable assets: our knowledge, skills and creativity … they are at the heart of a modern knowledge-driven economy” (Economist 2009). 3 Our Understanding of the Brief Vision (Q3/2017) Five Years’ Plan The Current Status of the company (Q3/2012) Strategy No. 3 To be the first choice for clients where high quality meets affordability and set high standards in the UK and European Market Apply KM & AM Tangible Assets Intangible Assets Processes 4 Meet the criteria of the European Excellence Model WaveRiders GAP Analysis GAP Target Current Status Timeline Actions Responsibility 1 Expand distribution and logistics to Europe Supply chain in the UK Q4/2012 Outsourcing the distribution function in Europe and hiring a Logistic Manager (reporting directly to CEO) CEO, Production Director, Finance Director and Richard 2 Improve supplier base Multiple suppliers (10+) Q4/2012 Assess and review current supplier base and streamline CEO, Production Director and Richard 3 Allow a suitable environment for employees to perform core functions No facility director no awareness and concern on improving the value of the properties and No concern of the safety of the buildings Q4/2012 Hire Facility Director (reporting directly to CEO) 4 Increase inventory turnover Poor management of inventory Q4/2012 Implement Just In Time Production 5 Improve Safety Standards in plant and products No records Q4/2012 Hire Health & Safety Manager (Reporting directly to Facility Director for plant daily operation issues/ reporting directly to the CEO for company policy & road safety) 6 Vision/Mission and competency framework for the whole company No core values/competencies and shared vision Q1/2013 Setting up a Steering Committee chaired by the HR Director, the committee will be consisting of members from different levels and departments of the organisation 7 Setting up a new organizational structure/ job descriptions/HR Policies & Procedures/Employee Handbook /Orientation Program/ER/Recruitment & Retention Strategies The current organizational structure/ job descriptions while the rest are not available Q2/2013 HR Director, Henry and Pauline Production Director and Pauline HR Director and Parminder Board of Directors and Modar HR Director and Modar 5 Current Supply Chain of WaveRiders Material Suppliers UK Factory UK Warehouse Sales to Retailers Sales to End Users 6 Future Supply Chain Strategy Sales/Marketing UK After Sales UK Market Suppliers UK Factory UK Warehouse EU Market EU After Sales 7 Sales/Marketing Supplier Management Materials R&D Market Information Supplier Manufacturing Processes R&D Customer Feedback WaveRiders Materials Knowledge Marketing/Sales Forecast Competitive Advantage Supplier / Manufacturer Information Model Strategies: Improve Supplier Base through assessing and reviewing current supplier base and streamline in order to Improve Working Relationship and therefore bring new benefits. 8 Distribution in the EU Market • Outsourcing the distribution function in the EU Market. • Increase the Distribution Manager scope of work where he will be responsible of the distribution operation in the UK and supervising the outsourcing contract of distribution in the EU market. 9 Asset Life Cycle management • • • Measuring assets on a COST Vs.
