challenge
Case study from an Oil & Gas manufacturing company
• Changes to committed supplier delivery dates for raw material/components
were causing significant disruption to the manufacturing process
• This resulted in a negative impact to the business with
• disruption to shop floor production planning
• additional costs to expedite products to alleviate delay to customers
• negative impact on overall On Time Delivery
• Procurement users attempted to manage the disruption via Excel spreadsheets
which were
• bespoke to each user
• manually managed and therefore time-consuming – approx. 3 days per week
per buyer
• update cycle between buyer and supplier typically 5 working days
