I also learned the importance of having an effective communication strategy in place to make sure everyone is on the same page and that the collaboration is successful. I learned to be open to different opinions and perspectives, to value diversity, and to be willing to compromise. Finally, I learned to appreciate the value of cultural, geographic and professional diversity and to strive to create an environment of inclusion.

For this project, the purpose was to access the overarching process and approach to SRM within Oxy organisation and coming up with appropriate implementation plan. The relevance of this project was informed by the fact that with the organisation having a large scale of operations with multiple end users, SRM is a significant issue. Also, the organisation operating in both local and international operations with multiple suppliers and spend areas to be coordinated.  The outcome of this would be to promote and improve SRM for aligning with Oxy organisation strategic objectifies, supply chain function being strategic integral partner as opposed to just transactional player.  Owing to the importance of SRM improvement, the different outcomes would entail;
  • Enhanced Suppliers Performance- With an upward of 50,000 orders annually with 40% valued more than 5 million Omanis and 50% 20 Million Omanis, failure to timely settle invoices, demand for high quality materials and minimising effects would be considered.
  • Cost savings- With improved SRM, it is possible for Oxy to negotiate appropriate terms, lower procurement costs (5 Rights not currently achieved) hence working below targets and lead times delivery reduced and achieving economies of scale.
  • Increased efficiency- improved and streamlined SRM improve operational efficiency, reducing wastes in administration process for SRM (25% of entire suppliers pay delayed)
  • Risk mitigation- this include identification of risks linked with suppliers such as dissatisfaction, financial instability and geopolitical challenges
The data used in informing the set project findings was obtained from the application of both quantitative and qualitative data by using questionnaires and interviews. Also, literature review has been sourced for affirming the relevance of the findings on best strategy in improving SRM in Oxy organisation context. This is supported by different CIPS module notes. The key findings include despite of Oxy Organisation having a stable SRM, there is still a need for improving. The findings evidence this to be an attribute of the broad scope of the organisation operation in different industries and markets locally (in Oman) and internationally.  The findings also identify existence of gaps in SRM evidenced by reduced collaboration amongst the different stakeholders with relevant solutions recommended for improvement. Part of this report has included a developed SRM approach which is applicable in Line Pipe Category. In line with the obtained research findings, various recommendations have been generated for improvement. These include;
  • Oxy organisation PS&M is supposed to come up with appropriate systems and techniques for improvement of SRM
  • Oxy organisation need to make sure they use various automations including AI and robotics for improving collaboration and SRM efficiency.
  • Facilitate policies management for improving their operations in onshore and offshore operations with an improved SRM
  • Short courses on SRM need to be provided starting with PS&M leadership to achieve 50% increase in awareness of SRM improvements areas.
  • Stakeholders relations improved by leveraging on available technologies of communication and interaction.
  • Ensure there is 70% increase in budget on SRM improvements

  • The purpose of this project is to evaluate supply chain automation by leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies. The identified technologies include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) noted as critical for streamlining operations and obtaining value-for-money outcomes. This has been pursued by focusing on Wood Plc.
  • To conclude, the generated findings of this report evidence WPC is today adopting the application of iSourcing in their procurement and supply management (PS&M).
  • In the current project, through an evaluation of options for automation of the organization PS&M, the findings evidence the existence of different limitations hindering the success of their system. The issues of cost overruns, lack of collaboration, and inefficient supply chain as the organization is expanding its current operations have been noted to include limitations of their current sourcing.
  • Success in the automation of their supply chain has been identified to lead to the following outcomes;
    • Organisation achievement owing to automation of their supply chain, increased confidence and capability, talent management, and employee competency
    • Improved stakeholders relations (a later section of stakeholders analysis) easing the change process. Through the iSourcing improvement, WPC would be in a position of harnessing technical and commercial evaluation processes.
    • Increased and robust systems and policies which mitigate overall gaps in sourcing system transformation
    • Today, only lower than 10% of the entire WPC resources are used to prioritize automation and IT integration successfully. Automation would improve the use of resources in their operations
Also, in this project, different tools and techniques have been referenced relevant for generating appropriate findings of the need for automation in WPC. Success in this project, would be tracked using a Gantt Chart with a detailed implementation plan established and recommended for PS&M in the WPC organisation. From the identified gaps in this project, various recommendations can be suggested for WPC to improve the automation process of their supply chain. These recommendations include;
  • Involve their IT and finance departments to ensure within a period of 6 months they
  • WPC needs to consider embracing sustainable practices as part of investing in their Industry 4.0 technologies
  • Through the adoption of automation, better communication systems backed by AI and ML would be introduced to achieve 70% increased communication effectiveness.
  • It is important to increase this through increasing collaboration and alignment of all their interests holistically
  • Partnering with institutions for the provision of capacity development opportunities for the PS&M teams and other organizations for the success of the automation process
  • Expanding their sourcing of Industry 4.0 technologies. This is to involve highly reputable global companies hence efficient operations and integration of AI
  • Source of support from the government to ensure that they are facilitated in terms of policies and appropriate regulations to guide the automation process.
