Unchained Supply Chain

Sponsored by Verusen – Optimizing MRO Supply Chains with AI

Randy Mackay, Senior Consulting Partner with ERA Group, is the first guest in what will be a periodic series where we bring category experts on to share knowledge about the goods and services they buy. Randy focuses on facilities, so we cover everything from trash bags to janitorial services to copier contracts to paper and Styrofoam products. The challenges here are familiar to oil and gas because there are aging workforce issues and rapid price swings in certain products. And, of course, AI and robots will make a difference!

This is part 2 of a discussion with Brian Wolf, Director of Global Supply Chain, and Matt McClellan, Head of Global Inventory Management from Seadrill. We walk through a case study of how they are optimizing MRO inventory on their offshore rigs. We start at the beginning with the business case, then talk software, project structure, process, data, change management, rollout plan, lessons learned, and results. Part 1 covered the project through rolling out to the rigs (Apple | Spotify). Part 2 discusses the categories focused on, lessons learned, the dead stock problem, and what sustain will likely look like.

Also, as always, listen to the end for career advice from both guests!
