Members of the DAC executive

 

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
DETERMINING STRATEGIC DIRECTION

The DAC is an industry driven initiative, drawing on the leadership and expertise of individuals from a broad range of member firms and using it to identify and address a wide variety of challenges confronting the industry.

The Executive Committee is responsible for determining the strategic direction and overseeing the finances of the Public-Private Partnership, while the core programmes and identified interventions are directed by Technical Steering Committees (TSCs) of industry representatives that meet on a regular basis.

This process is facilitated by an independent team from B&M Analysts, the same company that runs the South African Automotive Benchmarking Club (SAABC).

In addition to the strategic and financial management of the DAC, the Executive Committee meets is also responsible for the following:

  • Annual performance review of the DAC and progress of the local automotive industry
  • The Annual General Meeting
  • The DAC Resource Centre
  • Interaction and cooperation with institutions in support of effectively and efficiently attaining DAC objectives.

For information on any of the above please email dac@bmanalysts.com.  A list of the contents of the Resource Centre is available to members on request, with this including material on lean manufacturing, codes and standards, legislation and bylaws, policies and incentives, trends and statistics and archived DAC material
