Quality and Business Excellence in Exporting
How important is that or will good enough do?
Trevor Jorgenson, Director, Export Institute of Australia
Date: TO BE ADVISED
Exporting is not merely the business of making something in Australia, selling and sending it overseas and getting paid for it. It is a business that is precise, has a large number of competitors, depends on relationships and trust, and can assist an organisation's profitability to grow extensively.
Australian exports currently amount to (approx) $215b, with mining, fuels and commodities accounting for more than 75% of this figure.
There are approximately 35,000 - 40,000 exporters in Australia including the mining sectors all contributing positively to our GDP and balance of payments.
Exporting consists of a number of business functions including innovation, marketing, negotiating and sales, manufacturing, and packing for export, logistics involved in delivery and finance (getting paid).
All of these functions require a large amount of accuracy in their detail and methodology. Without it the cost can be disastrous for the exporter in terms of actual money, loss of business and reputation.
This presentation will identify some of the common errors made in some business functions and consider a case study in which all will participate, capturing the consequences of a transaction when "good enough wasn't good enough".
