Supply Chain Management

Time and cost implications can occur if the supply chain is not managed. A supply chain should be managed centrally, integrated from top to bottom (and vice versa), with communication lines running through the chain of organisations.

Aqua has a track record of developing successful supply chain management systems and procedures.  We have worked with our clients to lead on projects involving complex investigations and negotiations with their consultants, contractors subcontractors and suppliers.

 

 

 

 

Obstacles

  • Where are the voids or weakness in the current supply chain?
  • How can a client improve their negotiating position with key suppliers.
  • How can the client improve the contractual agreements to make them work for all stakeholders?
  • How can the client identify what its supplier demand profile during a five year AMP?
  • How can a client reduce its spares?
  • How can a client obtain a better after sales service?

Solutions

  • From the final Business Plan or the Final Determination (FD) we can identify who the key suppliers are going to be.
  • The production of an AMP equipment list demonstrating number and value of equipment
  • The development of contracts which avoid disputes by recognising the need for back to back terms and conditions
  • Demand profile identified so that the supply chain can ‘prepare and set up’ for the peaks and troughs encountered during an AMP period.
  • Demand profile identifies the opportunities available within the current AMP to standardise equipment.
  • Improved relationships due to providing the supply chain with certainty will improve customer / client care.
