Procurement and Supply Chain

Supply Chain Management and the Impacts of Tariffs and Trade Sanctions

The global supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19 served as a wakeup call to industry broadly, and the engineering and construction industry more specifically.

Managing Materials During Engineering — Civil/Structural

This Executive Insight looks at the management of materials during the various engineering phases and engineering support to construction. Responsibilities, activities, and workflow are described for the civil/structural discipline.

Owner Furnished/Contractor Installed (OFCI)

This Executive Insight looks at the use of owner furnished/contractor installed (OFCI) equipment and materials.

Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Supply Chain

Across industries, digital transformation is changing the supply chain more than any other functional area. It is driving efficiency and resiliency to disruption.

Materials Management

Materials management is focused on the planning and control of both the quality and quantity of materials and equipment procured and installed on a construction project.

Procurement and Supply Chain – Introduction

This insight includes observations and experiences accumulated over forty years of working in the engineering and construction capital project industry as an engineer and procurement professional.

Supplier Quality

This insight includes experiences, lessons learned, and recommendations accumulated over 45 years of working for a supplier of steel and fabrication and an engineering and construction firm on major projects as a manager of quality (inspection) and as a vice president professional.

Owner-Procured Materials

Through an owner case study, this insight will share the benefits of owner-procured materials that support front-end planning and procurement to accelerate delivery.

Inventories – A Key EPC Consideration for Achieving Capital Efficiency

This Executive Insight explores these aspects of driving inventories to optimal levels. Not covered here, however, are some of the more traditional aspects of inventory optimization that occur with marketing and sales campaigns and incentives.

Procurement Management in Large Complex Programs

Procurement in a program management organization represents a focused effort to improve overall program capital efficiency by seeking to capture the opportunities of leverage embedded in the program scale.

Logistics

This Executive Insight looks only at one element of the supply chain: logistics. It does so from a procurement and construction perspective.
