Release

Abu Dhabi, UAE – The pioneer objective of every oil and gas company is to achieve optimum exploration, production and efficient processing. However, it gets more and more important for oil and gas companies to manage and oversee their supply chain activities in order to reduce cost as well as to ensure efficient operations in every stream. Therefore, optimal logistics and supply chain solutions have to be applied in order to keep the supply chain operations smooth and efficient.

Improving supply chain operations for the capital intensive oil and gas industry requires explicit consideration for trade-offs and risks. An effective value chain helps in mitigating the risk, managing the warehouse inventory strategy, monitoring the logistics and transportation, controlling the supply and demand, and ensuring the best procurement strategy by creating short and long term supply chain strategies.

With global operations and transactions on the rise, procurement and supply chain professionals are grappling with the realization of the need to upgrade the infrastructure to handle the level of demand and urgency. Strategies need to be put in place to assess how to assure the delivery and transportation of equipment on time and to avoid being an additional task that requires huge expenditure and cause delays on projects.

With the executive leadership of Taher Salem Saeed, Head of Technical Purchasing, Supply Chain Management Division of GASCO and Chairman of the 2nd Supply Chain Praxis Interactive Forum, the Executive Steering Committee includes: 2014 Supply Chain Committee Leader, Juwad Al Omari, Regional Sourcing Leader– MEA from GE WATER AND PROCESS; Paul Smith, Managing Director from DEUGRO; Arthur Brunton, Managing Director from SUPPLY SYNERGIES; Ian Heptinstall, Managing Director from PMMS MIDDLE EAST; and Rebecca Fox, General Manager from CIPS MENA – to name a few.

These experts will be sharing their best life case solutions in this interactive platform. The Supply Chain forum will bring best live practices with case studies and master classes with the following key topics:

  • Risk Management and Compliance in Supply Chain
  • Supply and Demand Planning
  • Warehouse Inventory Management
  • Transportation and Logistics
  • Strategy for Supply Chain
  • Green Purchasing and Procurement Strategies

2014 Supply Chain: 2nd Global Praxis Interactive Forum brings together the industry experts to explore the recent regulations and strategies in Supply Chain. Through series of case study presentations and interactive breakout discussions, the most critical industry challenges will be discussed and the most suitable solutions will be identified with best practice strategies for addressing these issues.
