Transnet's Competitive Supplier Development Program (CSDP) aims to localize its supply chain through developing local suppliers' capabilities. The CSDP will focus first on rolling stock and port equipment suppliers. It will take a phased approach, first engaging priority suppliers and preparing staff. Key activities include a supplier benchmarking process to assess suppliers' competitiveness and develop improvement plans. The benchmarking process involves supplier self-assessments, development of improvement plans, and implementing improvements over multiple cycles. It aims to improve supplier-buyer alignment and increase local participation in supply chains. Initial focus is facilitating participation of railway and harbor suppliers through onboarding workshops and a training program to implement benchmarking.

Development Program (CSDP)

2. CSDP Purpose for Transnet
Background
• For the pat 30 years, the capacity of Transnet’s supply base for capital good has declined
along with their capital investment.
• However Transnet is now investing strongly in infrastructure again.
From NIPP to CSDP
• Cabinet approved the new policy on 25 January 2007
• The DPE established a Competitive Supplier Development Program (CSDP) to which Transnet
GCE formally gave notification in February 2007 to DPE that Transnet wishes to participate.
Programme Aim
• Transnet’s long-term aim with CSDP is to localise its supply chain of imported manufactured
goods or services to a reasonable level while promoting local industries and South Africa as an
off-shore site of choice for OEMs’ and multi-nationals’ procurement personnel.
• This will depend on Transnet’s ability to create a cohesive picture of future spend, to be the
catalyst for local suppliers’ investment in their own capacity and in their capability to meet
Transnet’s future manufactured equipment requirements.
Approach to CSDP
• To achieve this ambitious aim, over the next five years Transnet will implement CSDP in a
phased manner, starting off by engaging with opportunities in two priority-focus areas, namely
Rolling Stock and Port Equipment, while preparing SM staff to exploit emerging localisation
opportunities.
• Transnet’s CSDP rollout will be supported by a holistic Change Management Programme, which
will include a strong focus on stakeholder management and communication.

8. Railway & Harbour Supply Chain Association
The initial foundations for the affiliation between UNIDO and CIPS is based on:
In the case of CIPS*
• to assist the purchasing and procurement officers of private and public organizations
• in gaining greater transparency on possibilities for local procurement in developing
country environments; and
• in making more informed procurement decisions.
In the case of UNIDO**
• to assist local enterprises in developing countries to be more visible and attractive as
suppliers; and
• expand their market access through supplier contracts.

Development Program (CSDP)
Part 2 (Supplier Benchmarking)
Presented by Fanie van der Walt CSDP
Implementation Manager
2009-01-29

17. The main objectives and value proposition for Benchmarking
• From a supply chain perspective we aim to achieve the following:
• Improved alignment between buyer and supplier organisations which improves the
effectiveness of the total supply chain;
• More sustainable trading relationships based on clear measures and expectations;
• An increase in local participation in both local and global supply chain
opportunities;
• A more sustainable business by accelerating the competitiveness of the
participating individual firms and the industry as a whole; and
• Providing suppliers with a network of support organisations and possible funding to
focus on specific change interventions.
The high level process
• The benchmarking and development process will be implemented in stages,
starting with the locomotive contracts and the harbour equipment contract
opportunities, from where it would be rolled out to other commodities.

21. The immediate focus is to facilitate the participation of the rail and
harbour community through the following process:
• On-boarding workshops: This entails a series of workshops,
including owners and operators to discuss the initiative with the Railway
and Harbour supply chain community and gain commitment for those
companies interested to participate.
• Participation registration: Organisations provide their basic
information on the benchmarking web site www.benchmark2grow.org.
• Training invitation. Organisations that are registered on the web site
will be invited for a training programme.
• Training courses: A two day training course which should ideally be
attended by a senior executive who is overall accountable for
competitiveness and growth within the organisation, and the operational
person who would implement the initiative.
• Implementation: Supplier benchmarking and development process
including benchmarking, development plans and support.
• CSDP Implementation Champions:
