Oil & Gas

CHALLENGE FOR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

As the size and spread of operations, and suppliers that support these global operations, increases, companies need to ensure that global and local supply chains are delivering products and services in accordance with performance expectations and standards. Companies face a significant challenge because thousands of tasks are completed daily and gathering the performance data needed on these tasks appears to be an overwhelming job, fraught with anticipated inconsistencies in data collation, management, analysis and distribution. What is needed is a reliable, clearly defined and communicated way to measure supplier performance and secure Value for Money for companies and their shareholders.

BIZNET’S SOLUTION

Biznet offer a web based supplier performance management software solution to these challenges, PerforMIS. PerforMIS enables companies to monitor the performance of their suppliers, against key performance indicators across a range of measures, and to have real time access to reports and knowledge that enable companies and their suppliers to improve their business performance. Biznet have worked intensively and collaboratively with several companies to deliver, commission, and roll out a solution that allows the scorecards of thousands of suppliers from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia to be completed, monitored and compared on the same software platform. Knowledge gained from the analysis and use of this information can be accessed, reported and shared, locally and globally, in accordance with operator’s requirements.

BENEFITS

Our client base has improved the performance and reduced the direct and indirect costs of their local and global supply chains. The adoption of a web based solution and the dissemination of information and knowledge has provided operators with global reach and has helped to change and align the behaviors of all the people associated with its supply chains. Internal and external communications have improved and this has led to faster decision making. Suppliers can access their own data and information, enabling them to see and to improve how they are performing. The frequency of the “he said, she said” exchanges at monthly or quarterly reviews between operator and supplier has dropped dramatically.

SUCCESS STORIES

Over the last six years Biznet’s Supplier Performance Management System has been deployed in several areas of BP’s Upstream business including Exploration & Production (Drilling & Completions, Operations, Chemicals, and Aviation) as well as Downstream areas such as Refining and Marketing, and Indirect Procurement segments. BP has introduced Biznet to several other companies including TNK-BP and Alyeska who have recently deployed similar systems across their organisations.
