Steel plays a key role in UK manufacturing, and the modern world is based on and founded by the use of steel. Major industrial sectors such as power generation, infrastructure, automotive, engineering and construction all depend on steel, and these are all sectors which are forecast to grow and will require more steel as they expand. It is clear that the UK steel demand will grow, however production of steel using traditional blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace route is carbon intensive and alternative routes for steel production need to be investigated. If the UK were to recycle all of the scrap steel that it produced it would nearly be able to satisfy the country’s steel demand.

The research programme is funded by Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), a part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), an investment supported by the Industrial Challenge Fund. The key research collaborators include CityREDI (University of Birmingham), 糖心TV 糖心TV School and 糖心TV Manufacturing Group (University of 糖心TV). The WMG Supply Chain Research Group (SCRG) focuses on the theme of Supply Chain Productivity, which aims to provide guidance and support for practitioners to solve supply chain challenges and improve overall productivity.

Interestingly, some firms face smaller impacts on the business and recover quicker than others in the same sector. This is because firms with a high level of supply chain resilience (SCR) can prepare for, respond to and recover from disruptions more effectively.

It suggests that we are on the cusp of the 4th Industrial Revolution, a cyber physical age, which will be realised over the next 20 years. This report has been designed to enable you to complete a self-assessment of your company’s current Industry 4 readiness, whilst providing a benchmark of current Industry 4 readiness across a group of 53 companies.

A key element of the ‘mobility revolution’ is developing wireless communications that allow vehicles to talk to the driver, to each other and to roadside infrastructure. The cost-benefit analysis for a particular type of communications technology, Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) illustrates the benefit to society and the environment in terms of improved mobility, safety and air quality against the cost of developing and implementing the technology on motorways and urban roads.

These vehicles will be partially or fully drive themselves, potentially and ultimately requiring no human driver participation at all, having the possibility to collect data on their usage and activities, as well as, communicate among themselves and with road-transport authorities. Therefore, there are a number of implications and areas for consideration within the legal and regulatory aspects of CAV and its associated technologies challenging the status quo of the roles of human drivers and vehicles. This report is of interest to the whole CAV ecosystem and believe it is in everybody’s interest to better understand the legal frameworks in which CAVs must operate and, going forward, to help influence what the future might look like.

Segmentation is not a new practice for supply chain management, so why is it so relatively under-developed, and what can be done to advance the capability? Moreover, benefits will be received from the early steps, so the key action is to begin the journey.
