Right Parts - Right Time - Right Location at Optimized Costs
Material costs are a significant percentage of the total cost of any Greenfield / Brownfield Process & Manufacturing Plant project. Ensuring that the right material (quality & reliability) is available at the right time is very crucial for the overall success of the project.
Optimizing material costs & improving speed without impacting quality & reliability is a top priority for procurement departments of global organizations. While engineering can be managed & controlled centrally, procurement departments need to be more agile in adapting to the needs & priorities of specific projects. Better integration & upfront planning based on preliminary BOQs / BOMs across all disciplines – Civil / Structural, Mechanical, Electrical & Instrumentation, Controls, Piping and Firefighting can contribute significantly to cost reduction targets.
Understanding of domain, market/industry experience, and engineering know-how is necessary in any engineering procurement cycle, to choose the right parts from the right vendor and to make it available at right place/department at the right time.
