Ahmed EltahlawyRegional Supply Chain ManagerMazrui Energy A supply chain is only as strong as the people who understand it. A message from the Regional Supply Chain Manager Dear colleagues, Every day, our teams keep critical operations moving for our customers. Much of what makes that possible sits quietly in the background: the right material, in the right place, at the right time, at the right cost. It rarely makes headlines, but it makes everything else work. Supply Chain 360 was created to give that work a voice, and to look at our profession from every angle: planning, sourcing, warehousing, logistics and the people behind them. Our industry is changing quickly, with higher expectations on in-country value, tighter compliance, digital tools and customers who expect more certainty with every order. Keeping pace needs more than experience. It needs a habit of learning, and a place where that learning is shared. This first issue begins with our own structure and the colleagues who make it work, because knowing who does what, and where, is the fastest way to get things done. From there, each issue will bring you one focused theme, explained simply and visually, so it can be read in a few minutes and applied the same day. I encourage every member of the team to read it, discuss it, challenge it, and contribute to it. The best ideas in our function will come from within our own team. Thank you for the commitment you bring every day. Let us keep learning, and keep raising the bar together.

W H E R E W E B E G I N Supply Chain 360 will travel the whole chain, one step at a time. We start with step 01, demand planning, because every supply chain begins with a need. S T A R T H E R E What is a supply chain? A supply chain is everything it takes together the right material or service to the right place, at the ight time, at the right cost: from planning what we need and sourcing it, through logistics and inventory, to delivering it to the operation. From supplier to the operation. Payments flow back to suppliers. Forecasts, orders and status. S U P P L I E R S T A R T H E R E Supply chain management in ten steps, from demand planning to sustainability and compliance. O P E R A T I O N Three flows run through every supply chain Money Information Materials and services 07
S U P P L Y C H A I N M A N A G E M E N T People often use these words as if they mean the same thing. They do not. Procurement and logistics are parts of the supply chain, not the whole of it. Supply chain management is what connects them, so a decision in one area does not create a problem further down the line.

Demand Lead time Supply Inventory F O U R Q U E S T I O N S E V E R Y P L A N A N S W E R S Capacity C O V E R S T O R Y PlanningWhere every supply chain begins Before anything is sourced, stored or moved, someone has to answer a simple question: what will the operation need? Planning turns that question into a plan the whole chain can act on. What? How much? When? Where? = The right material, ready before it is needed A good plan does not predict the future perfectly. It prepares the whole chain to respond when the future arrives. C O V E R S T O R Y : P L A N N I N G 09
P L A N N I N G I N O U R W O R L D Project schedules, maintenance programmes, rig and job activity, and past consumption all feed the plan. The better the inputs, the fewer the surprises downstream. 0 1 · P L A N N I N G B A S I C S From a need to a plan Planning happens on three time horizons. Each one answers a different question, and each feeds the one below it. What do we replenish, requisition and schedule right now? What will demand look like, and how do budgets, stock and suppliers line up to meet it? Where should we operate, with what capacity and which key suppliers? Strategic Years ahead Months ahead Days and weeks Tactical Operational Tactical planning Strategic planning Operational planning How a need travels through the chain Operational need Demand forecast Material plan Purchase requisition Sourcing A job, a project, a maintenance plan History plus what is coming What to stock, what to order The formal request Our next issue C O V E R S T O R Y : P L A N N I N G 10
