LEADING RESOURCE SECTOR SUPPLY CHAIN EXPERTISE
Strategy Development
General Project Timing typical 2-8 Weeks
How do we develop the best strategy? If there is one subject that people write and read about a lot it is strategy. But how do we develop a strategy that actually works and connects with our people whilst aligning with our major Stakeholders.
“The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.” - Michael E. Porter
“The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.” – Rupert Murdoch
“There are multiple ways to be externally focused that are very successful. You can be customer-focused or competitor-focused. Some people are internally focused, and if they reach critical mass, they can tip the whole company.” – Jeff Bezos
At Janz Consulting we have developed and collected a range of tools and techniques to simplify and condense strategy to its fundamentals and simply create one that works.
We recognise the critical importance of organisational capability in delivering strategy; and the absolutely fundamental role that leadership plays in shaping appropriate cultures and keeping the business in touch with its prime stakeholders. We help clients to identify the right culture, process, people, structure and leadership styles that are needed to drive a strategy to its objectives in different situations.
Collaboration / Sharing Models
General Project Timing 2-4 Weeks
Supply chains in Oil & Gas have long been focussing on providing absolute security of supply. Unfortunately reality tells us this can at the expense of cost. Many voices raise the following justification: Isn't the major cost driver not the day rate of the drill ship? Or imagine the value of the potential loss of production?
This is what we so often hear and unfortunately these internal forces have "justified" a high degree of overcapacity throughout each independent supply chain of every neighbouring operator. However, when we look at the more mature producing areas in the world sharing has become a reality. Driven by the reality of low operating costs because of lower revenue, these concepts have been evolving in these legacy assets. A great example is the pooling of all marine supply vessels of 9 operators in the Netherlands. They have been sharing resources for almost a decade now and have proven that sharing actually increases delivery security and shortens delivery timelines. Cost have gone down by >60%
From numerous examples and our own experience, we have developed a road map to successfully start, expand and evolve new collaboration models.
Matching culture plays an absolutely fundamental role in shaping & supporting appropriate collaboration models between operators. It is key to align prime stakeholders with expectations. We help clients to identify the right culture & sharing structure, processes, contract models and leadership styles that are needed to make sharing, and therefore cost reduction, a reality.
We have delivered success for numerous clients, working with them to significantly increase their delivery performance whilst dramatically decreasing costs.
Logistics Project Management
General Project Timing 3-12 Months
Throughout history mankind has delivered many astonishing projects, take the Colosseum for example: An army of workers took less than 10 years to complete it in 80 AD, using 100,000 cubic meters of travertine marble. To accomplish this, project leaders relied on organizational innovations & a well-recognised importance of Logistics. How would they have managed to keep the workers busy had their logistics supply failed and they lost their supply of marble?
Today, large projects in the oil & gas industry face similarly daunting challenges as they become increasingly complex, remote and technologically demanding. Schedules and budgets are tight, safety is crucial, and every project faces a network of stakeholders that are rightfully concerned about its impact on the environment and communities. Even so it is without doubt that throughout history every project has relied heavily on logistics including such ground-breaking projects from the past, as the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Wall of China. Great current day examples where this is so vividly evident are Gorgon LNG and Prelude FLNG.
Our experience working with projects in the resource sector suggests experienced talent is not only essential, it is often not enough. Successful large projects follow a coherent, consistent framework that guides their actions, decisions and processes. We can’t emphasize enough the criticality of early involvement of Logistics Expertise in projects. A good example of successfully early involvement of Logistics Expertise can been seen at Shell’s flagship project Prelude FLNG; the original design only had one helideck not two helidecks as in the current built.
Based on our extensive experience in Oil & Gas projects, we developed the comprehensive Janz Consulting Project Logistics framework©. Our framework supplements seamlessly the existing frameworks within most Oil & Gas majors. Following our robust Project Logistics framework©, will help to increase readiness, optimise performance whilst helping to avoid cost & schedule overruns.
Our owner has extensive and unique experience in Oil & Gas Projects, most recently he was responsible for the setting up and managing the Logistics Organisation for the Shell Prelude FLNG Project. This organisation achieved from the start Top Quartile performance globally ranked amongst peers consecutively for the five years in row.
Organisational Capability Health Check
General Project Timing 2-4 Weeks
How good are we equipped to meet all our upcoming challenges? Are we meeting the expectations of our customers?
Quite often day to day business doesn’t allow us to step back and take a helicopter view on our business. We become distracted with solving every day to day challenges. How far can we actually plan ahead? How much inventory do we actually need? How well do we perform compared to our competitors?
We have developed and collected a range of tools and techniques support our Janz Consulting Organisation Capability Framework© to perform an in-depth health check on Logistics & Supply Chain Organisations,
Matching leadership plays an absolutely fundamental role in shaping & supporting appropriate cultures and keeping the business in touch with its prime stakeholders. We help clients to identify the right culture, process, people, structure and leadership styles that are needed to drive a strategy in action to its objectives in different situations.
We have delivered success for numerous clients, working with clients to significantly increase the output performance as well as capability to implement long term planning.
