The goal of the SC Vis Project was to create knowledge to support a successfully functioning transnational European-based fashion supply chain by improving the visibility amongst supply chain members. The project incorporated how training should be offered to different members of the same international supply chain by consideration of the different cultural and economic contexts across the EU. The aim of the project was to bring together a strategic partnership with five Partners: University of Gloucestershire, UK; ESSCA School of Management, France (and Hungary); Politechnico di Milano, Italy; Technology University Dublin, Ireland; and Alexander Technological Educational Institute, Greece, to create a high-quality VET fashion supply chain visibility resource for the benefit of those engaged in the fashion sector in Europe. SC Vis objectives were to: - Create a VET resource including a web based digital tool and training materials that address an established knowledge gap and provide an accessible resource for career orientated learners, and those that are least likely to take part in learning opportunities - Create resources beyond the lifetime of the project that will be translated into English, French, Italian and Greek languages (reflecting countries that contribute to European fashion supply chains) and to support greater access to high quality resources for native speaking workers The SC Vis VET resource incorporates four modules that cover the scope of supply chain visibility and all the components involved in the sourcing and delivery processes into 16 defined job roles. The four modules are connected to create the integrated supply chain from raw material supplier such as wool or cotton through to fully assembled garment, the information flows within the supply channels and the movement activities to point of sale. Content of the modules below has been incorporated in the 16 defined job roles from retailer, producer and delivery activity for organisations of all sizes, including SMEs: - Supplier and Customer Actors Integration – assesses long-term relationships through sharing of responsibilities, common planning, dedicated investments and joint relationship initiatives - Information Technology Integration – assesses how high visibility can be achieved through extensive sharing of useful and meaningful information with common data definitions and consistency in stored data established across a focal firm’s supply chain - Materials Integration – investigates the standardisation of material flow procedures and the use of common initiatives by supply chain actors in order to optimise the material flow - Internal Actors Integration – assesses the coordination through cross-functional teams as the indicator of internal company integration. The degree to which each department’s success depends on the success of other departments within the company is also relevant to internal actors’ integration The project had two stages: The first stage involved a literature review and synthesis of information resulting in the SC Vis DataSet (O1) coordinated by Politechnico di Milano, Italy. The second stage saw the development of the SC Vis Digital Tool (O2) which is an interactive interface for the SC Vis Dataset coordinated by the University of Gloucestershire, UK. The second stage also saw the development of the SC Vis Training Materials (O4) coordinated by Technology University Dublin, Ireland. The impact derived from the new SC Vis VET resource will come from the target group of learners (CEOs, Directors, Team Leaders and Functional Specialists and those undertaking roles linked to supply chain management including the different tiered suppliers, such as Buyers, Planners, Logisticians, Commercial staff) where the lack of knowledge concerning Supply Chain Visibility has created a training need. It will help to educate and train employees through the open-sourced Digital Tool and improve businesses productivity directly involved in the fashion sector and service organisations supporting their expertise, skills and competence requirements, and policy development needs at a regional, national and international level.
