7. TRADITIONAL
INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT
CHALLENGES
Before the advent of Information Technology (IT)
solutions, the oil and gas sector faced several
challenges in managing inventory effectively.
These challenges included:
Manual Tracking
Inventory tracking was predominantly done
manually, leading to errors, data inconsistencies,
and time-consuming processes.
Lack of Real-Time Data
Without access to real-time data, inventory
managers had limited visibility into stock levels,
demand fluctuations, and supply chain
dynamics.

8. TRADITIONAL
INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT
CHALLENGES
Forecasting demand accurately was a
significant challenge due to limited historical
data, volatile market conditions, and complex
customer requirements.
Suboptimal Replenishment
Processes
Inventory tracking was predominantly done
manually, leading to errors, data inconsistencies,
and time-consuming processes.
Limited Supply Chain Visibility
Difficulties in communication and collaboration
led to inefficiencies, increased costs, and delays.
Inaccurate Demand Forecasting
