IPTC-18322-MS_SHE&S Improvement of a Major Subcontractor on the RG Barzan Ons...Bob DeHart
1) Descon, a subcontractor on the RasGas Barzan Onshore Project, initially struggled with safety performance and incurred the project's first lost time incident.
2) In late 2012/early 2013, Descon made organizational changes and implemented action plans to improve safety, including strengthening management commitment, supervisor accountability, training programs, and incident and injury free initiatives.
3) These efforts successfully drove improvements, as Descon reduced incident rates over time and worked 31 million hours without lost time incidents, demonstrating leadership in safety performance improvement on the project.
SHES MS in BARZAN FINAL-TAMU Intl Process Saf Symposium_oct 28 2014Bob DeHart
The Barzan Onshore Project in Qatar has implemented an effective Safety, Health, Environment, and Security (SHE&S) Management System that has resulted in world-class safety performance over 185 million man-hours worked. Key elements of the system include comprehensive contractual requirements, programs for observations reporting and sub-contractor readiness reviews, and a focus on risk management. Senior management demonstrates strong leadership commitment through regular review meetings, prioritizing an incident and injury free workplace, and directly engaging with workers through daily interactions at the worksite and camps.

The document discusses building a spend analysis program to analyze an organization's expenditures. It defines spend analysis and why organizations perform it. Key activities in building a program include collecting and normalizing data from various sources, analyzing spending patterns, and identifying opportunities. Challenges include overcoming organizational barriers, issues with inconsistent and incomplete data, and developing repeatable processes. Lessons learned emphasize securing support, planning adequately, starting small and achieving early wins to demonstrate value.
The document discusses building internal customer relationships in supply management. It provides biographies of speakers from a consulting firm and an electronics company. It then discusses elements of a successful supply chain process including establishing essential customer relationships. It outlines six keys to building internal customer relationships, such as determining major customers, developing relationship tools, assigning the right people, making it easy to order products, meeting regularly with customers, and advertising the value of procurement programs.
Quality Assurance & Post Award Performance Measurementmubarak2009
The document discusses quality assurance and performance measurement for government contracts. It emphasizes the importance of defining clear performance measures that are aligned with contract objectives. A quality assurance surveillance plan should identify how performance will be monitored and evaluated. Lessons learned include incorporating quality metrics throughout the acquisition process and using frameworks to guide performance measurement. Automating performance management systems can help standardize oversight.
The document discusses business process outsourcing (BPO) in China. It provides an overview of the BPO industry and examines both the current state and future potential of BPO in China. It notes that while China has mainly low-end, low-value BPO services currently, the country is positioning itself to become a major player in the global BPO market through improved infrastructure, policies, and developing its vendor base and industry expertise. The document also presents a case study of one company's BPO services in China.
Achieving Excellence in End-to-End Supply Managementmubarak2009
The document discusses challenges in supply chain management for service organizations. It notes a lack of integrated processes, tools, and information across supply chains.
