JC Auditors and RTMS recognized at African Supply Chain Excellence Awards
Certification body JC Auditors and the RTMS NPC (Road Transport Management System Non Profit Company) have been recognised for their outstanding performance, at the inaugural African Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
The Awards celebrate the vital role played by supply chain management and honours the achievements of organisations and individuals working in the field in Africa. “JC Auditors is pleased to have been recognised for its role in promoting safety, compliance and efficiency”, says Managing Director Oliver Naidoo. “We have pioneered RTMS audits and certification in South Africa, in collaboration with the RTMS NPC, which promotes the adoption of the RTMS standard in various supply chains.”
In a joint presentation to the African Supply Chain Excellence Awards, JC Auditors and the RTMS NPC highlighted the work done to increase safety and efficiency on the roads, by implementing a management system that demonstrates compliance with the Road Traffic Regulations and contributes to preserving road infrastructure.
“The RTMS aims to mitigate the consequences of heavy vehicle overloading and poor compliance to road safety,” explains Naidoo. “Even though RTMS was initially mooted as an overload control mechanism, it has evolved to a holistic system of managing road transport operations.”
Highlighting the overall greater compliance within the transport industry and the work done by JC Auditors and RTMS, Naidoo said the success of the programme was encouraging. “Much work, however, remains to be done, as the RTMS companies still represent a very small proportion of the total number of transport companies in South Africa. Going forward, the RTMS NPC and JC Auditors will continue to look at innovative ways of expanding the RTMS to reach more transporters,” he concluded.
