SCM Issues 2/2

How to succeed the installation ?

Engineering : - over design => secure installation and in service lifeFabrication : - zero default => high QA/QC capabilities

How to succeed the delivery on site ?

Ensure good structure for logistics : - Availability of transport (flexible planning)- Very good knowledge of local regulations which are constantly

changing- Strong set up and full control of local logistics from shore to site.


West African Top Priority : Local Content = Constraint but also an Opportunity

1. Constraint : • Access to local Human Resources

- Engineers (Engineering)

- Workers (Fabrication)

• Control of Quality

2. Opportunity : • Transport and Customs are cleared Upstream

- Improve Float on planning

- Less complex nature of goods to import.
