Project profiles - round 12
The projects funded in Round 12 cover a range of regional and national initiatives. Many of the projects have a specific focus on small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
CANCER INSTITUTE NSW REGISTRY e-NOTIFICATION
The Cancer Institute NSW Registry e-Notification project will pilot a system which sends electronic notifications of cancer diagnoses from pathology laboratories to NSW and ACT Central Cancer Registries (CCR).
This system is expected to improve efficiency, timeliness and quality of notifications to the CCRs. The registry information is used for epidemiological research, to monitor NSW/ACT cancer trends, to evaluate cancer care programs, to support health policy in NSW, and to contribute to national and international benchmarking.
ITOL Funding: $198 000

VIEWPOINT
The objective of this project is to develop, implement and demonstrate an e-business manufacturing management system (VIEWPOINT) that integrates business processes within a cluster of companies through a shared online database. Viewpoint will be implemented in a pilot cluster of electronics industry companies made up of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), contract manufacturers (CMs), and suppliers.
The project aims to increase competitiveness in the Australian electronics industry by providing a more efficient collaboration process in respect of supply chain data. This approach manages all resources including labour, materials and completed components within and across the supply chain. It also provides best practice business solutions within and across the companies in the cluster, including: inventory management, parts and process tracking, supply chain management, batch job management and activity based costing.

SCHEDULING AND ADMINISTERING LOCUM DOCTORS IN RURAL NSW
The aim of the Scheduling and Administering Locum Doctors in Rural NSW project is to develop a secure, reliable, accessible locum booking service and administrative system.
It uses an interactive website and an open-source information system which will streamline the process of locum service recruitment, initial orientation, placement (locum booking system) and day-to-day operation of the GP locum services.
The website has the capability to display requests for locums from rural GP practices and then match these requests with confirmed bookings from the Rural Doctors Network (RDN), independent GP Locums and commercial locum agencies.

IMPROVING PROCUREMENT FOR INDEPENDENT RETAILERS AND WHOLESALERS IN TASMANIA
The key objective of this project is to develop a peer-to-peer (P2P) supply chain information network for Tasmanian retailers and their suppliers. The solution will cut supply chain costs by improving procurement processes between independent retailers and suppliers, and will help these small firms to address inefficiencies in their current supply chain such as order errors, changing barcodes and out-of-stock products.
The supply chain communications solution will be low cost, quick and easy to implement, and will provide enhanced supply chain functionality.
