| Effective Supply Chain Management in Oil, Gas, and Power Generation |
David Jacoby, President of Boston Strategies International, is currently authoring a book on operations management in the oil and gas industry: Effective Supply Chain Management in Oil, Gas, and Power Generation, to be released by Pennwell in 2012), and has also written the definitive book on supply chain management for The Economist.
Part I of the new book will explain how World-Class Supply Management can improve reliability, raise productivity, lower purchase cost, lower operating cost, and lower working capital requirements. It will address the key purchasing processes for capital equipment, such as:
- Supplier prequalification
- “Local content”
- Electronic tendering
- Negotiating strategies and techniques
- Contracting
- Terms and conditions
- Assuring field service reliability
- Aligning supply chains for improved synergies
- Organizing the supply chain and supply management functions
- Setting governance structures, performance standards, and targets
Part II will provide examples of how these concepts apply to specific areas, for example:
- Exploration
- Construction
- Drilling
- Production
- Rig Operation
- Marine Services (to support offshore rigs or platforms)
- Rotating Equipment Management
- Electrical Systems Installation and Management
- Safety
- Water Treatment
- Inspection Services
- Management of Capital Spares and Operational Supplies
- Breakbulk and Project Logistics
The book will then extend these concepts to applications in refineries, tank farms, pipelines, and the power generation and renewable energy industries.
