Helping North Sea operators achieve high performance

Logistics, warehousing and inventory management
Objective: To reduce the costs of operations by driving improvements in efficiency and
working capital in the end-to-end North Sea production supply chain.
The North Sea production supply chain
includes a broad array of processes,
systems and outsourced logistics
providers. Improving the management
and operation of this supply chain
end-to-end can deliver dramatic
reductions in overall costs.
To help you seize this opportunity, we
take a robust approach to activities
ranging from operations to business
change analyses. This helps you strike
the right balance between cost and
service requirements within your
production operations.
Accenture’s four-phase process for
achieving this balance is illustrated
in Figure 10. We work collaboratively
with you at every stage to improve the
performance of your logistics partners
and align it with your business
strategy.
