Aligning the objectives of the project, especially in the design brief, with the practical experience of the supplier at the earliest opportunity can create significant benefits both in identifying cost reductions and the agreement of mutual outcomes.<\/p>\n<h3>Capacity planning<\/h3>\n<p>Part of the communication process will be an understanding of the vendor\u2019s capacity to deliver in the contractor\u2019s required timeframe, especially where the vendor is managing several large projects concurrently. This can be a particular issue for smaller suppliers and reinforces the message that early vendor involvement allows for effective planning and delivery as part of the project\u2019s overall success.<\/p>\n<h3>Stick to the brief<\/h3>\n<p>Another critical element in ensuring the end results meet the original brief will be to ensure the specifications set by the project owner at the start are adhered to throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>If carried out as stated by the government, the Industrial Strategy has the potential to spearhead the UK\u2019s economic growth well into the mid-21<sup>st<\/sup> century. This is too big an opportunity to \u2018fudge\u2019. Cost engineering to deliver a project that approximately fits the original plan cannot therefore be accepted.<\/p>\n<h3>Innovation<\/h3>\n<p>The Industrial Strategy will generate ambitious and innovative programmes of work. These will demand innovation from suppliers in the delivery of products and services.<\/p>\n<p>For example, to avoid congestion issues and on-site waste, some of the country\u2019s largest infrastructure projects, such as the high-profile Heathrow 2.0 proposal, are planning the creation of supply chain logistics hubs with products assembled into component parts, at a distance from their final destination, so they can be installed more efficiently on site.<\/p>\n<p>In these circumstances, suppliers may have to abandon traditional business models in favour of more collaboration and adaptability for the greater good of the overall project. Tata Steel, one of the largest landowners in the UK, is in a unique position to contribute to this more efficient form of construction.<\/p>\n<h3>Sustainable solutions<\/h3>\n<p>Innovation will also be required in the sustainability of materials to be used with the intention of further reducing lifecycle costs and delivering more circular economic solutions. As an example, Tata Steel has developed a number of product solutions from energy-generating steel facades in construction to weathering, maintenance-free steel that significantly reduces corrosion potential and will generate clear benefits in terms of reducing maintenance during the project lifetime and therefore enhance cost optimisation.<\/p>\n<p>Enhanced and improved digitalisation Innovation through the improved and increased use of digitalisation across the board to collate and deliver data at speed can improve processes and enhance communication. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/tag\/sh-tata-steel\/\">Tata Steel<\/a> is developing digital product provenance solutions to enable the increased \u2018circularity\u2019 of products and more efficient processes in the infrastructure supply chain. The drive towards greater digitalisation will effectively underpin the above enablers and the delivery of the strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The National Productivity Investment Fund was launched initially in 2016 to add \u00a323bn in investment from 2017 to 2022 (expanded now to \u00a331bn), with spending focusing on areas fundamental to the productivity of the UK, such as research and development, economic infrastructure and housing.<\/p>\n<p>Tata Steel will benefit from this fund in two ways. Firstly, it will drive the company\u2019s innovation and research and development in developing sustainable steel products and services. Secondly, Tata Steel will be a key enabler in delivering the outcomes of the funding by contributing to building the infrastructure required to enhance UK productivity.<\/p>\n<p>In her foreword to the Industrial Strategy white paper, Prime Minister Theresa May talks of building a Britain fit for the future. To achieve this, the six enablers outlined above will all have to work together successfully, and we are ready to play our part.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barry Rust<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-45883 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Industrial strategy\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/B-Rust-020.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marketing Manager, Energy &amp;
