- W1578162803 abstract "Despite the Queensland sugar industry’s status as a low-cost producer of sugar, there appears to be considerable scope to reduce costs by improving the efficiency of the cane harvesting and transport process, especially in the Mackay district. The key areas of inefficiency result from poor utilisation of both harvesting and mill transport equipment. Insights from the research approach used to address the key issues of this problem - the potential savings from raising the efficiency of sugarcane harvesttransport systems, and the failure of the Mackay district to adopt measures to improve the efficiency of its harvest-transport systems – are discussed in this paper. There are multiple drivers and constraints to change in the Mackay harvesting and transport system, and multiple objectives and visions of the desired future need to be accommodated. This is the classic problem of managing complex systems, and it warrants the embracement of pluralist thinking. Methodologies with different strengths and weaknesses were used in combination to address a complex problem to gain a richer appreciation of the nature of the harvest transport system. The three perspectives explored in this paper, that of ‘traditional’ economic analysis, the exploration of social drivers and constraints of change, and the consideration of the historical context, contribute a different understanding of the situation and of the desired and desirable future. While there is a tendency for a neo-classically inspired view to dominate - ie ‘rationalised’ harvest-transport systems are a desirable future, the results from this study suggest that ‘economic efficiency’ needs to be redefined." @default.
