Research grants and projects
A Supply Chain Management Framework for Waste Minimisation for the Residential Sector – $112,480
Chief Investigators: Kerry London, Malik Khalfan, Tayyab Maqsood
Funding body: Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Vic
The problem this project seeks to address is the lack of management tools available to assist residential sector organisations to continuously improve and develop an organisational cultural maturity approach towards employees' knowledge, skills and capabilities related to waste avoidance and reduction using supply chain management principles. The self assessment framework will address the inter-relationship between policy, process and practice and be created, piloted, developed, implemented, tested, evaluated and validated on two large volume house builders for then wider dissemination and diffusion to the residential sector.
