This document summarizes a study on supply chain innovation in the rail, marine, and automotive sectors. It identifies trends like globalization and cost pressures that are making industries risk-averse and focused on incremental innovation over disruptive innovation. The study found that 70% of companies lack formal innovation processes and have difficulties identifying and commercializing new technologies. It recommends providing benchmarking and collaboration tools to help companies adopt more sustainable and innovative supply chain practices that can significantly increase revenues and jobs through breakthrough innovations.

Transport KTN Supply Chain Innovation - Study Preliminary Findings Dr. Vassilios Albanis Technology & Business Consultant & Steve Dore Chief Executive Officer
? Review the supply chain operations in three sectors ¨C Rail, Marine and Automotive ? Identify trends and drivers across the three sectors ? Investigate the key issues and challenges in the supply chain ? Review innovation practices in supply chain companies ? Assess the potential for adoption of market disruptive innovation practices Aim of Research Competitive supply chain
Sustainable Supply Chain Cross Cutting Themes ¨C Integrated approach across all sectors OEM TIER 1 TIER 2 TIER 2 TIER 3 TIER 3 TIER 1 TIER 2 ? Environment ? Economy ? Technology ? Society Sustainable and innovative practice to ensure that the future supply chain grows and remains competitive
? Economic ¨C profitability, competitiveness, growth ? Environmental ¨C reduction of emissions, renewable energy, drain of resources ? Technological ¨C emerging technologies, new manufacturing processes, innovation, infrastructure, capacity ? Social ¨C customer focus, flexible working, changing demographics, security Trends and Drivers Innovative thinking leads to sustainable growth ? Sustainable growth ¨C ¡°Rich and green¡± vs ¡°poor and dirty¡± ? Re-assess current practices ? Facilitate growth with a minimum environmental footprint ? Proactive and adopt innovative practices
? Globalisation ¨C complex market, price sensitive ? Market shifts ¨C demand fluctuation ? Risk mitigation ¨C end to end management ? Conservative ¨C slow adoption of emerging technologies ? Cost driven ¨C downward cost pressure Findings Incremental Innovation ¨C Disruptive Innovation ? Risk averse market ? Fragmented benchmarking models ? Favours incremental innovation instead of disruptive innovation
