Standardisation and Modularisation
It is important to encourage the use of standardised components and modular supply chain techniques. This simplifies the procurement process and reduces the number of different materials needed for various projects. One way that we can support in key areas such as site mobilisation and demobilisation is by accurate planning ahead of a project go live. We use proven PMO principles to ensure the right inventory and materials are planned to arrive on the required on site date – and this is just part of the process. We have developed a site storage cube system, utilising steel containers that act as mini stores, stocked with a wide variety of essential items such as tools, light plant, PPE and even office equipment. We use our Mobile Stock Management system (Msys.MSM), to control the use of this material and replenish critical inventory direct to site throughout the duration of the project. We clean the storage cubes and restock them for a final time before they are put back in to service at the next project, reducing transport costs and CO 2 emissions.
Local Sourcing:
Whenever feasible, we source materials from local suppliers to reduce transportation costs and support the local economy. We have implemented new supply chains for our customers following damaging global issues such as Brexit, the Ukraine war and the blockage of the Suez canal. These issues had huge impact on traditional global sourcing, demonstrating the importance of providing alternative sources of products and material closer to our shores within Europe, and within the UK, so we can better offset the potential for further disruptions.
