through to the soldier combat ensemble and load carriage equipment. Everything that’s textile based is coming from ADA and our network of subcontracting suppli- ers. But the design, I would say, is a collabor- ative effort between the two organisations. This meshes our expertise in product man- ufacture with their expertise in end user engagement to deliver higher performing products. It is a real synergy that has led to theAustralianSCEbeingtheenvyofmany partner forces globally.
ADM: How have AIC requirements af- fected how you do business?
DIXON: Managing Australia’s largest clothing manufacturing base in Bendigo is incredibly important for us. Most of our local manufacturing is for Defence, but we also produce other garments in our local supply chain, such as structural suits for fire fighters. We’re always looking for other opportunities to manufacture onshore: one recent example is the development and manufacture of injection-moulded hang- ing systems in Melbourne, previously only available off shore.
ADM: You mentioned before your par- ent company (Logistik Unicorp) who are Canadianbasedandthey’reamassivesup- plier of uniforms for the Canadian MoD. Have you been able to do technology or IP transferbetweenthosebusinesses? DIXON: Absolutely. The information technology used in our business – and that has enabled us to move from manu- facturing to integrated asset management – is leveraged from the capability that Logistik is famous for, tailored for the Australian consumer. Our clever online
systems manage entitlement, sizing, plan- ning and forecasting; these sorts of tech- nologies have been injected into ADA and enabled our growth.
ADM: How has your business trans- formed, even in the last five to ten years, and then can you give us an example of howyou’vetransformedanotherbusiness under that new model?
DIXON: We’ve moved well beyond just clothing provision and we’re more dynamic. Rather than a business that waited for the phone to ring, we’ve become far more pro- active, more agile and nimble in the way that we approach our work.
We have looked for ways that we can streamline the business and how we can evolve outside of the traditional garment or textile area. We now offer a more complete assetmanagementsolutiontoprovidemore than just clothing.
Oneareathatwe’vebranchedintoisthe Health sector. We provide uniform solu- tions to the NSW Health network, con- sisting of 150,000 staff, with 90,000 staff in uniform, 147 styles and 10,000 SKUs. We deliver to that organisation anywhere in NSW, from ADA’s Thomastown head- quarters within five days, at an average fill rateofmorethan99percent.
This is something that I don’t think ADA or even NSW Health ever envisaged doing 5-10 years ago. It’s allowed them to realise substantial cost savings in out- sourcing their entire procurement func- tion to the point that it’s now run by one person and a help desk.
ADM: So in five years time, what does ADAlooklike?
Chris with an ADA machinist.
DIXON: An industry leader in the inte- grated, asset management space, a true prime systems integrator – a one-stop- shop for all things that organisations are looking for in the areas we specialise in; anything on or with the person that pro- tects them in their daily work or enables them to operate in a high risk environ- ment safely. More and more the organ- isations that we are dealing with, major government agencies and companies, are consolidating, they’re amalgamating and thenthey’reoutsourcing.
Ourultimategoalistoofferholisticvalue back to the organisation through equip- ment, clothing, training, planning, inven- tory management, and allowing that organ- isation to focus on their core purpose, be that Defence, Health, Emergency Services orLawEnforcement.
