Avbrudd - Forsyningskjedens mørke side

Selv om kostnadsreduserende tiltak og outsourcing kan ha klare fordeler har det å gi slipp på kontrollen med forsyningskjeden sine utfordringer. Vi møtte forsker Jan Husdal i Møreforsking Molde som blant annet jobber med sårbarhetsanalyser og risikohåndtering i forsyningskjeder. Denne artikkelen er hentet fra Logistikk & Ledelse nummer 3/2009. Les hele artikkelen her.

Er rassikring lønnsomt?

rassikring-rb080924Rassikring av veger har en klar samfunnsøkonomisk nytteverdi, men hvor stor er den? De største gevinstene er knyttet til å unngå omkjøring, skape trygghet og redusere antall ulykker. Hvordan måler man dette i kroner? Spørsmålet er viktig og angår mange lokalsamfunn i dette fylket. Analyser viser at selve omkjøringskostnadene kan variere fra drøyt 200 kr/time og opp til 80.000 kr/time, avhengig av sted, trafikkmengde, trafikksammensetning og omkjøringsmuligheter.

Saving Norway's crumbling infrastructure

NTP 2010-2019Following up my post this morning called “D-Day for Norway’s Transport Infrastructure“, the numbers are out now: The government intends to spend some 320,000,000 NOK ($45,000,000,000) on transport infrastructure over the next 10 years. Will it be enough? This reminds me of a post I had earlier, called “America’s crumbling infrastructure“, where the Minneapolis bridge collapse was a timely wake-up call for America to invest in its infrastructure. Will Norway be able to save its crumbling infrastructure without such a disaster?

D-Day for Norway's Transport Infrastructure

knut-bogeToday, on this ominous date, Friday the 13th, Norway’s government is presenting it’s development plans for the Norwegian transport infrastructure for 2010 to 2019 (Nasjonal Transportplan 2010-2019). Not that it will make much difference, because the way we do things here, instead of the national or regional government deciding where and what to build or not to build, Norway’s planning and decision process involves even the local governments, who essentially can veto (or at best significantly alter) any plans made the government or other higher authorities. Some call it madness , and I am inclined to agree.

The curse of being oil-rich

aftenposten-090302Ah…the complacency of being oil rich. So complacent, in fact, that we forget about our infrastructure. That’s the picture painted by the Norwegian newspaper aftenposten.no this morning, in their seemingly never-ending series of articles about the increasingly delapidated Norwegian road network. The reason for why things are the way they are: The literally well-oiled economy.
