Broadening networks, business collaborations and responsiveness from supply chains.
There is a big difference between supply chain transformation and incremental improvement initiatives or savings targets.
Transformation involves a radical change to the way the business thinks and behaves at all levels and requires an even greater change in supplier relationships. So why do companies struggle to achieve transformation?
At Rowe Advisory, our experience indicates that effective transformation and dramatic improvement to supply chain performance requires great leadership. Individuals that can make the shift from simply aligning supply chain strategy and process within a business, to shaping strategy across people, processes, technologies and markets. They must be architects of redesign that are able to define the problems in simple galvanizing terms, understand how to provide real time data for decisions and incorporate technology, business innovation and sustainability in the solution for change.
How Rowe Advisory can help you:
Our case study behind our work with a confidential oil & gas client details how we transformed their challenge into a solution.
CHALLENGE
Rowe Advisory were engaged by an Australian oil and gas exploration and production company to provide strategic contracts & procurement (C&P) assistance for an upcoming Coal Seam Gas project in Queensland.
SOLUTION
Rowe Advisory developed and implemented numerous processes and policy improvements to encompass compliances to pre and post award polices and standards. Further strategy development took place to build whole project contract strategies, drilling and completion strategies and warehouse and inventory progress. Rowe Advisory consultants also created successful tenders in areas such as Engineering, Drilling Rigs and Wellsite Services.
RESULT
The team have delivered over 75 contracts in 12 months with significant savings achieved. In addition to delivery and savings, the outsourced C&P function have worked with the employees to change the attitude and culture of the organisation towards C&P by establishing it as a value adding function. Upon completion of the first phase of this work, Rowe Advisory were further engaged by the client to provide fully outsourced contracts and procurement support.
