Project Bank Account
A project bank account is a means of paying sub-contractors in a construction project directly from the funds made available by the construction client instead of from the earnings or funds of the prime contractor. The UK Government promotes the use of project bank accounts (PBAs) in major construction projects. UK Government guidance describes a PBA as "a ring-fenced bank account from which payments are made directly and simultaneously to a lead contractor and members of the supply chain. Through faster payments, those lower down the supply chain benefit from that cash-flow". John M. Stevens, Director of Dodd Group, an electrical and mechanical services sub-contractor, reflects that "without doubt this has to be the way forward for our industry if the current payment culture is to be eradicated". PBAs help eliminate the excuses for late or reduced payment, the burdens on overhead costs and the programme delays as a result of disputes and resultant insolvencies, which often res ...

Supply Chain
In commerce, a supply chain is a network of facilities that procure raw materials, transform them into intermediate goods and then final products to customers through a distribution system. It refers to the network of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in delivering a product or service to a consumer. Supply chain activities involve the transformation of natural resources, raw materials, and components into a finished product and delivering the same to the end customer. In sophisticated supply chain systems, used products may re-enter the supply chain at any point where residual value is recyclable. Supply chains link value chains. Suppliers in a supply chain are often ranked by "tier", with first-tier suppliers supplying directly to the client, second-tier suppliers supplying to the first tier, and so on. Overview A typical supply chain begins with the ecological, biological, and political regulation of natural resources, followed by the ...
