SUPPLY CHAIN communication tools , like having email accounts and internet access has had a positive employee engagement spinoff which is truly wonderful ,” added Newman .
If this wasn ’ t impressive enough , UGL has also brought its own unique industry product to the market . The FlexiCurve™ bogie is UGL ’ s premium locomotive bogie , providing significant benefits in locomotive performance , reliability and maintainability . FlexiCurve™ is a family of bogies for applications ranging from 90t , 1 metre Narrow Gauge through to 160t , 1.7 metre Broad Gauge . UGL won the Regional ( Newcastle ) Engineering Excellence Award for this earlier in 2015 . Developed in Australia by UGL Limited , the FlexiCurve™ has become GE ’ s bogie of preference when selling locomotives out of North America , something the company is incredibly proud of .
Asked about what the future holds for UGL , Newman concluded : “ The outlook is positive in that we ’ ll continue to diversify and serve our customers with exceptional customer service , and as we migrate from a push to pull inventory strategy it will help us to help them . We ’ ll also be able to take a far greater level of proactive , pragmatic deliverables as we move forward with our technological solutions , so we ’ re in a very strong position in that regard .”
When the world and its industries change once more , UGL beyond all others will be very well positioned to maximise the upturn potential .
