104787Digitally Connected Supply ChainsClosedCollaborative R&DISCF"The purpose of the project is to provide a methodology and platform to digitally connect the construction manufacturing and built environment supply chains, to: \*Deliver outcome-driven, optimised supply chains; \*Increase productivity through the supply chain; \*Increase auditability of construction delivery and asset quality, the 'golden thread'; \*Provide services and products through the lifecycle of an asset, including recovery and re-use; \*Improve client visibility of what is being procured, what the product or service should entail, and what they should expect to pay; \*Enable a circular construction economy. Project outputs will include: \*Outcomes-based digital procurement platform - an MVP capable of demonstrating the desired capability, and to clearly identify future development needs; \*Servitisation benefits measurement methodology -- a clearly defined and published benefits measurement methodology for manufacturers to assess the opportunities for Servitisation, linked to the outputs and dynamic bench-marking of the procurement platform and supported by a Servitisation assessment tool; \* Defined data requirements to support Servitisation and a digitally connected supply chain \*Desktop case studies of both the outcomes-based platform and Servitisation methodology applied to real projects; \*A detailed business case to bring the technologies to market. Project partners are: PCSG (Professional Construction Strategies Group) - specialists in construction strategy and digital transformation Construction Products Association (CPA) - trade association who's members represent over 80% of construction products by value MK9 Development - provider of outcomes-based procurement platforms in the care, housing, transport and health industries"
