Why Choose this Training Course?
Why Choose this Training Course?
Procurement in the Oil and Gas industry has always faced particular challenges. With the background of volatile oil and gas prices, marginal oilfields, extreme locations and new global business trends, the oil and gas industry is forced to seek better solutions to overcome these challenges. Procurement Leaders need to think about the sourcing strategies they employ to maximise the value they bring to their organizations.
Strategic Sourcing is a disciplined, multi-stage process that examines, addresses and optimizes the Total Cost of Ownership, and that typically involves cross-functional teams. This is why Strategic Sourcing is so critical and can have such a strong effect on the bottom line. Strategic Sourcing can go well beyond cutting costs. Best-in-class companies recognize strategic sourcing as a value creator and consider it to be integral to their overall strategies for growth.
This highly-interactive PetroKnowledge training course has been specifically designed to focus procurement professionals on the many benefits of utilizing and working to a comprehensive strategic sourcing policy that encompasses real value for money; and highlights why the strategic sourcing approach allows procurement professionals to consolidate purchasing power in order to secure the best value available in the marketplace, in addition to:
- Reducing or controlling procurement costs
- Maximizing the value of every dollar of spend
- Streamlining the procurement operations
- Building strong, trustworthy relationships with existing and new vendors
