Recent quotes from two of our courses:

"We had an enjoyable day which left us all with much to consider regarding the way to improve our efficiency and profitability through using the tools and concept in examining how we can perform our business differently".

Graham Meil - Deputy Product Line Manager Subsea Construction
Stolt Offshore Limited

"A very well run and very interesting course which really added value in helping a company like us to understanding what it feels like to manage a challenging project and how performance can be radically improved, thanks to both trainers. All the course material was of a very high standard".

Bob Harvie, General Manager
Lloyds Register, May 2002

"The simulation exercise quickly demonstrated in a risk free environment the consequences of getting things wrong at the start of a project and how difficult it can be to recover. The real value came from the subsequent analysis and the resulting change in thinking and behaviour of the team members, which dramatically improved performance in the follow-up exercise. The team felt that it was a worthwhile and enjoyable day and are applying many of the learning points back in their day to day working environment".

Geoff Stephens, Contracts Manager

Proprietary Tools

The LOGIC Project Supply Chain "Toolkit" is extensive and growing. LOGIC maintains constant surveillance of this developing set of tools and evaluates where and when each should be applied. When a significant industry need for such tools exists and there are no readily available sources, LOGIC utilizes its highly regarded Project Supply Chain Team to develop the needed techniques, and make them available as a "proprietary tool" to interested users, under suitable licensing agreements

Shared-Pay Arrangement

LOGIC's project supply chain team frequently collaborates with "innovator" organisations to develop, test and implement advanced project supply chain tools and techniques. Such Alliances take advantage of the synergies afforded by combining LOGIC's expertise with the experience and perspective of the partnering company. A number of powerful "cutting edge" manuals as well as computer-based references, tools and techniques have been developed using this "teaming" relationship.

LOGIC's project supply chain team can, if desired, take the lead in any such joint effort or provide the support needed to assist in a client led initiative. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss any "step out" efforts of this type that you may be considering.

Work Processes

Quantitative benchmarking studies continue to confirm what many high performance project supply chain professionals have long advocated. Preparing a well thought out, integrated project plan which all participating shareholders endorse prior to initiating project execution, significantly increases the success potential of your project.

LOGIC is an advocate of this "best practice" philosophy and develops, validates, implements and continuously improves an array of project supply chain related work processes for clients.

Work Process

  • Project Supply Chain Strategy

  • Understanding previous performance - cost of Non-Value-Added effort, effect of late decisions on engineering, procurement and construction, etc.
  • Assessment of Needs - which project needs will this change meet?
  • Readiness for Change - where are you now and where are the barriers?
  • Identification of Critical Success Factors - what has to happen to achieve this change?
