SUPPLY CHAIN INMATIVE - AN UPDATE

摘要

The article in Bulletin 144, published in December, provided readers with the status of the-various Supply Chain issues at that time. Much has happened since then, although much still needs to be achieved. In terms of the iTSCi programme itself, a Business Plan and five year budget was developed and a Capital Funding call for a total of US$16.5 million between now and 2014 was made to T.I.C. members and also to our downstream customers in January. In the last few days, an Executive Summary of the Plan has also been distributed, as obtaining this capital in the very near term is vital. We are pleased that our members buying material are participating in iTSCi by reporting exports and purchases, and paying the levy.
