Section 3 - Management & Accountability (continued)
Materials Handling and Warehousing Project
The focus of this project in 2007–08 was the development of detailed specifications of outcomes, tendering for and subsequent letting of a contract. Working with the successful tenderer, we have designed a system that meets the original aims of the project outlined in last year’s Annual Report but has enhanced environmental benefits. For example, the Materials Handling and Warehousing Project (MHWP) is expected to achieve reductions in cardboard paper consumption of approximately six tonnes each year. Another benefit from the MHWP will be that vision from remote cameras will be linked to the foyer and visitor gallery to give visitors a closer view of operations.
Challenges for the year ahead include the change management process, specifically in the areas of technical skills and cultural practice. The MHWP is continuing to be managed to meet the project program and stay within budget. Careful attention to contract and relationship management is required. Expectations remain high that a successful project will be delivered in March 2009 to coincide with the completion of the refurbishment project.
