An effective evaluation of impact of market changes on supply chain lead to improvement of an organisation financial positioning through value delivery associated with corporate strategy. According to CIPS (2023) market changes which impact supply chain are largely due to fluctuations of clients demand patterns. For ADNOC case, these factors entail changes in market trends, economic condition, unforeseen occurrences all having significant implications on the supply chain operations.

2.1 Models for determining external environmental factors influencing and impacting supply chain

For the external factors, the analysis can be pursued by the application of different models as supported by the CIPD Module Notes. These include the following;

2.1.1 STEEPLED Analysis

This is identified as a strategic planning approach relevant in different business functions for discovering, evaluating, organising and tracking external risks. According to CIPS (2023a) this is through a focus on the following factors summary;

Table 1:STEEPLED Factors Analysis Summary

Source: Summarised from CIPS (2023a)

STEEPLED Factors Explanation
Social ·      Post COVID-19, demand for oil and gas has increased globally influencing need to broaden supply chain networks

·      Generation Z and Millennials increasing in number influencing need for innovative supply chain network
Technical ·      Technology has substantially been in an upward trend in UAE

·      Demand for integrating IT and innovation in organisations supply chain networks has increased
Economic ·      Reduced government spend in ADNOC hence affecting available resources for managing their supply chain

·      Transition from Oil and gas dependent economy in UAE impacting success of supply chains
Environmental ·      ADNOC gets involved in variations CSR strategies

·      By 2045, ADNOC is investing in eliminating carbon emissions
Political ·      MENA region political conflicts disrupting regional supply chain network
Legal ·      Suppliers relations influenced by existing UAE legislations
Ethical ·      Increased in UAE population inclusive of Emiratis and expatriates informing need for improving supply chain networks

In summary, STEEPLED analysis findings highlight that majority of the factors have positive impact on the supply chain. These changes starting with social dimensions, technology development and economy influence need for having a broader supply chain network. This is with an intention of accommodating Post COVID-19 challenges, Generation Z and Millennials increase, resources available and transitioning from oil and gas dependent economy. Further, the need for environment, political, legal and ethical considerations inform on need to embrace innovation and online sourcing strategy for success in having a harmonised supply chain (Munir et al., 2020).

2.1.2 Porter’s 5 Forces Analysis

This is used as a market analysis tool for ascertaining an industry attractiveness and competition scope. According to Munir et al. (2020), for long-term based market sustainability, profits must be acquired in business environment. A summary of the components of Porter’s 5 Forces is as illustrated in the following;

Considering ADNOC operations in UAE oil and gas sector,  this model detail on level of competition impacting supply chain. For example, in figure 2, having upstream and downstream tiers of their supply chain, this has an influence on their power towards their suppliers.  According to Huo et al. (2017), the scope of influence evidence how ADNOC relates with their suppliers, their number, costs and availability of substitutes. Also, with ADOC having a high buying power, they influence the steps of their supply chain network and how the different players are involved in this relationship. This is with the costs invested in running of their supply chain dependent on specifications of their suppliers.

For ADNOC, most of their supplies particularly the IT system has low bargaining power form their suppliers. Hence, OEMs are required to guarantee quality of the products and services being sourced. Finally, threats of new entrants in oil and gas sector suppliers is very high. The best practice is hence to benchmark on operations of other oil and gas industry players in terms of their suppliers to manage complexity and uncertainties. This is the case since the competitive rivalry influence how the supply chains are structured and information flow (Madenas et al., 2014). As illustrated in figure below, the outcome of this would be development of strategic and functional integration;

As summarised in figure 4, the best practice would be aligning the external and internal factors which are defined by business strategy and organisation infrastructure and processes respectively. Similarly, the supply chain would need to be aligned with IT strategy and infrastructure and processes put into account.

The findings in this report evidence that leadership and management are applied interchangeably. Further, leadership and job satisfaction have a direct correlation. Also, the CIPS Module Notes and peer reviewed journals and publications note to influence staff wellbeing. The findings also evidence existence of individual-centric leadership process as best contrary to job-centered operating in high-level competitive business sector. From the stakeholders analysis, by use of Mendelow Matrix, it identify different stakeholders as holding varying powers which are distributed and exercised for organisation success. Finally, the findings indicate HWE equality and diversity policies as appropriate and relevant for the organisation with optimum gains attained. From the identified gaps in the analysis, and conclusions made, various recommendations have been identified including;
  • Pursue capacity development strategies (coach and mentor others) for facilitating appreciating leadership and management functions as followers
  • Integrating situational and transformational leadership and management in HWE
  • Investing in effective communication strategy to influence stakeholders functions
  • Create a system for ensuring efficiencies in resolving all challenges
  • Diversification of eProcurement system to harness equality and diversity of suppliers as part of their operations

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
