A Study on Oman Supply Chain vision 2025
1- Introduction
According to (AL-Belushi,2018), the global economy is
expected to increase in next coming years, and it is required
from us to enhance industries such as the logistic sector. In
past, the sector of the logistics was not very important in
exporting or importing processes in large industries. The Omani
government as well as the Ministry of Transport and

Communications have prepared strategic plans for the
development of the different infrastructure and amenities such
as ports, roads, industrial zones, airlines, logistics field, supply
chain operations and shipping sector. Furthermore, Oman did a
lot of efforts to lay the ground work as well as to connect Oman
country with the new industrial nations. For instance,
government of Oman has linked the global industries with
modern networking such as roads, railways, transport as well as
the communication networking. However, these developments
are targeted to make the Omani logistic industry as one of the
most important sectors in Oman as well as to make it as a
biggest source of national GDP by the Year of 2025. It has
considered the main logistic sites in Oman such as Sohar,
Muscat, Duqm and Salalah.
Furthermore, these plans cannot be accomplished without
concentrating on the local manpower and the issue it
encounters, involving the complex economic conditions
surrounding Oman, low salaries, poor experienced workers. In
fact, What are on our ground are different from our future plans
and expectations. There is a big gap between the majors of
Academic logistic department as well as the supply chain
industries. This gap is becoming bigger daily, leaving good
educational Results without a clear vision. However, The
programs of Tanfeedh promises that there will be alot of jobs
for the seekers in logistics sector in next coming years.
Moreover, this plan lacks of clarity in terms of the jobs that it
will offer in that field, lack of main description of these jobs,
quality as well as their locations. In addition, there is a lack of
clarity if these jobs have the ability to secure the labour market
of Oman. If we want to proceed on the correct track, we should
pave the right way for superior educational results and expand a
strong support to the academic companies that are looking to
train and qualify the Omani labors, the supply chain operations,
logistics, procurement strategy, and others. This cannot be
accomplished without connecting the academic institutions with
the local needs of local labors markets involving the companies

establishments, business of logistics, communication and
networking, transport and other supply chain functions.
However, these companies must provide more practical in house
training for a specific time period such as internships, during
which the academic may get a qualification of experience that
enable them to perform in the same industry or functions as
wanted. This will Finally motivate the academic managers and
firms to employ the academic willingly without the effort of
training as well as additional dollars, except for the people who
need to be trained and keep pace with development at
workplace. However, the main vision of local Omani logistic
groups involves to cover all areas such as free zones,
government, land and sea transport firms (Davied,2013).
Objective of the report
· To highlight on the main Oman vision in 2025-2040
· To develop proper strategies in order to achieve these future
plans
· To analyze the basic social, economic and technical trends in
Oman

2- Discussion & Content Analysis
Importance of the changes/trends for the future supply chain
According to (Edwards,2007), '' The supply chain is defined as
a network, chain or system consisting of several elements and is
centered around people, technology, information, institutions,
activities and resources to transfer services or products to the
end customers, As the supply chain improves, it leads to lower
costs and more production. This chain creates raw and natural
resources into a final product that can be used and sold to
customers''. On the other hand, (Sumantra,2013) has defined the
supply chain as the management flow of the upper flow and the
bottom flow of adding new value for materials and finished
goods and all the information associated with suppliers or
customers and companies. On other hands, The economic,
political, technological and social trends have a great
importance in the development or decline of the supply chain
system in Oman. As all local and global researches confirm that
the development of the supply chain has the potential to
increase revenues as well as control the production costs of all
sectors as well as lead to improved asset utilization. In addition,
the global trends towards an advanced economy that fulfills the
desires of the customers and increase the profits thus we get a
result of efficiency and high performance. In addition to the
benefits of the supply chain, it is faster and more efficient to
work faster through faster document dissemination, quicker
connection, faster decision making and reduced time to market
(Salha,2010).

Supply Chain Vision 2025, taking in consideration the social,
economic and technical trends
In fact, developing a supply chain vision for the future needs to
observe and analyze the social trends, economic development of
Oman, technical as well as environmental changes that may
affect its success. First, Oman should have strong relationships
with various manufacturers to create a sustainable supply chain
system. However, Sultanate of Oman aims to manage a
successful supply chain that has many short and long term
competitive advantages, where short term benefits include
increased productivity, reduced inventory and time as well as
lower cost of transportation. Long term benefits include
increasing customer satisfaction, market share and profits for all
parties in the supply chain with the aim of building strong
relationships with suppliers with a focus on both cost reduction
and maximizing value for the end customer (Rajiv,2016).
The Omani Supply Chain Plan aims to divide the activities of
the supply chain managers on the accounting, marketing, and
information system which is considered essential in the
management of the supply chain through control of inventory
and management of material flows. Oman Vision also seeks a
supply chain to provide 5,000 jobs in agreement with its
suppliers, including ASIAAD Company (AL-Harby, 2017).
However, The Oman vision 2040 have been divided into 5 years

plan and Oman will reach these goals by 2040 as shown below:
· The First five plan: Oman supply Chain vision (2025-2030)
· The Second five Plan: Oman supply Chain vision (2030-35)
· The Third five Plan: Oman supply Chain vision (2035-2040)
· The Fifth five Plan: Oman supply Chain vision 2040
a- The First five plan: Oman supply Chain vision (2025-2030)
The most important vision of the supply chain in the first five-
year plan from 2025 to 2030 in the Sultanate of Oman includes
the following objectives:
· Improving the competitive position of the organizations:
In Oman, procurement activities in 2025 will focus on issues
that contribute to the objectives and strategies of organizations.
Supply managers will also identify how to invest opportunities
that are looming by managing supply chains in order to
contribute to raising the organization's income and asset
management as well as reducing costs. On the other hand, the
financial framework of the first five-year plan 2025-2030 was
formulated to serve its objectives in general and support the
stability and growth of the Omani economy in particular. The
revenues from the logistics and supply sector are estimated to
be at a production rate of RO 4899 million. The success of
procurement activities in Omani institutions depends on the
extent to which these activities are possible, linking supply
decisions with the overall organizational strategy and
continuing to select more efficient suppliers to work for better
results. On the other hand, the company aims to provide job
opportunities for Omanis and raise Omanisation rates to reach
90% in the supply and logistics sector.

The Second five Plan: Oman supply Chain vision (2030-2035)
The second five-year strategy of the visionary vision for the
development of the supply chain 2025-2040 is very important
for the long-term development of Oman's economy. Where the
most prominent objectives in the second five-year plan 2025
include key factors in the investment balance and continuous
growth in all sectors of economic diversification and logistics.
This plan emphasizes the continued rehabilitation and training
of the Omani national forces and the provision of necessary
services to develop the knowledge and scientific aspects of the
importance of the achievement of a digital society based on
advanced information communication. However, the ASIAD
Company and Oman Oil Company announced that the total new
and continuous programs approved for the second five-year plan
for Oman's vision for the Sultanate are estimated at 13 billion
Omani Rials (33.5 billion US dollars). The plan aims to achieve
growth rate of 3% -4% per annum and 6% The average annual
inflation rate for the period of this strategy is about 4% and the
Sultanate of Oman will raise the volume of investments to RO
35 billion, an increase of about 113% compared to the previous
development of the supply chain.
The Third five Plan: Oman supply Chain vision (2035-2040)
At this plan, Oman vision is to improve the country's soft
infrastructure, especially the regulatory surrounding's as well as
the supporting mechanisms. The strategic centralized site of
Sultanate Oman in Arabian Gulf allows it to deal for conversion
into the main transshipment hub for the trade of middle east. On
other hands, the supreme council planning center has confirmed
to invest more on infrastructure, airport facilities as well as the
new road link to support the increased spending of government.
The Fifth five Plan: Oman supply Chain vision 2040
The National Logistics Strategy and Supply Chain Management
will be operated to facilitate commercial movement in Oman by
2040. There will be considerable flexibility in the movement of
goods between local and international markets. The promotion
of the competitive advantages and added value offered by the

Omani logistics sector will be intensified by using highly
advanced technical technologies, as well as the employing of
about 10,000 Omani job seekers in the transport and
communications sector, according to the company's last
interview. Asayad Company will achieve these pillars by
partnering all parties and Omani government companies by
2040, in addition to achieving all previous strategies.
In addition to the plans and vision mentioned above, a number
of state officials and ministers under the Royal Decree No.
7/2013 of December embarked on the preparatory phase for the
development of the vision of Oman 2040 future. Where the
working group and the various technical committees were
formed to follow up the audit and implementation. They also
analyzed long-term sectoral strategies, linked their goals to
vision goals, and set national priorities in all sectors. In
addition, the relevant committees have prepared the necessary
strategies for communication and participation of Omani society
in preparing the vision of Oman for all citizens and residents.
Chart-1 the 5 years plan of Oman Supply chain
Social, Economic and Technical Trends in Oman 2040

According to the economic trends in Oman in 2025-2040,
Oman's economy is doing well in the past years, from 2010 to
2018, due to the higher efforts of oil and natural gas production
sector from January to November, as well as a significant rise in
hydrocarbons in recent years compared to the previous years
before 2000. The Sultanate of Oman expects a significant
improvement in its economy and improvement in the country,
As the Sultanate of Oman has developed diversified plans to
reduce dependence on oil and gas, including increasing supply
chains, diversifying investment projects and relying on the
logistics sector. It is also worth noting that the Sultanate
expects an increase in spending rate slightly. On the other hand,
Oman's expected technical trends include significant digital and
technological progress in all sectors including oil, gas, supply
chain, logistics and manufacturing. Where technological trends
are expected to include in 2040 new operating models affecting
decision makers in the coming year
According to the social trends in Oman, the country will have
advanced social media marketing services by 2040. The
techniques of marketing will earn a solid reputation within
Omani society. However, There will be significant differences
in the social networks, which will lead to the emergence of
social mobility will spread in Omani society among citizens,
which will change our lives for the better by 2040. It is
expected that 80% of Omanis will use social networking issues
in their daily lives to enhance and meet their needs.

Table 1 economic Trends
The ‘supply chain vision 2025’ needs to be justified by
sufficient relevant literature and a ‘macro, meso, micro analyses
· Macro Economics of Oman
According to table 2, the growth of the Omani economy in 2018
was very high compared to the years from 2016 to 2017. In fact,
the Oil and Gas sector represent the highest contributor to
Oman' high revenues by 75% in 2017. In fact, in despite the
decrease in oil reserves, the activities of the hydrocarbon will
continue to raise due to the effective technologies in gas
production. Therefore, the development in oil growth will also
increase in next coming years. The recent discovery in gas field
has supported Omani economy to increase for years will come.
At the same time, since the late 1990s, the Omani government

has been working to differentiate its business activities such as
transportations, tourism, logistics, education and others.
According to the year of 2019, it is expected to increase the
growth of Oman by non-oil and gas company more than before.
As a part of five-years plan 2025-2040, the diversification plan
will be benefited from the expansion of Muscat airport.
According to the year of 2015, there was a fall in oil revenues
and there was a deficit. There are some considerations to
reduce the size of undesirable markets. The government has
worked along with various authorities and miniseries to reduce
the overall costs of operations as well as to support our national
GDP (Mohammed,2014).
· Meso Economies
The science Meso Economics or the intermediate economy has a
major impact on the achievement of Oman's 2040 goals and
visions. The Meso economy is the science used to describe all
Omani economic arrangements that are not based on micro-
economies for the use or purchase, and are not based on the
total economies of aggregate demand, but rather on the
importance of the structures under which the Omani economy is
based. In fact, the meso Economic provides a link between the
macro and micro economies of Oman that is typically important
for managing the overall economy as well as to make this
framework interesting and essential to understanding the
modern world. On other hands, the meso economy studies the
official areas of the Omani economy that are not taken by the
micro or macroeconomics. By assuming the competition,
complete information, the costs of transactions and others, the
meso economy assumes away the basic needs for the courts,
parties or laws within the country to resolve the internal issues
that may face the country. From the perspectives of the Meso
Economies, the political economy of Oman refers to the study
of government incentives that can help to achieve the Oman
vision 2040 (Walz,2019).

· Micro Economics of Oman
According to the Micro-economic analysis of Oman, Omani per
capita income has increased, therefore, the consumption of
individuals has increased. The GDP per capita in Oman has
reached 14.522.880 USD in 2017 compared to the year of 2016,
and it was around 13.938.948. Oman GDP per capita are
updated yearly. However, the Nominal GDP reached 19.892
USD billion in 2018. According to the labor productivity rate,
the productivity of labors enhanced by 1.40% in 2017 compared
with a drop of 3.40% in previous year (Msairi,2019).
Table 2, Major Macro Economic Indicators
3- Conclusion & Recommendations
To sum up, the main findings of this report involve various
results. For instance, There are several future visions named
after the five future plans of 2025 and will be achieved in 2040.
As the first five plan includes various aims. The plan aims to
achieve growth rate of 3% -4% per annum and 6% The average
annual inflation rate for the period of this strategy is about 4%
and the Sultanate of Oman will raise the volume of investments

previous development of the supply chain. The promotion of

communications sector, according to the company's last

partnering all parties and Omani government companies by
