YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN: SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT AND CONTROLLED

In this paper, we explore some of the challenges and opportunities that have presented themselves to the energy industry over the past year, which in turn define the type of integrated suppliers which businesses want to work with. Firstly, energy professionals need to partner with integrated suppliers who can offer them global coverage but also in-depth local understanding. Secondly, they seek better visibility of end-to-end supply management while also addressing the downward pressure on costs. Thirdly, they want to reduce their overall vendor base while simultaneously investing in more external expertise. Finally, they have concerns that safety and compliance standards will not be adhered to if more MRO work is contracted out, while being aware that they do not always have adequate metrics to evaluate safety performance. The onus is therefore on integrated suppliers to show that they can meet each of these concerns head on and add substantial value to client businesses.
