Delivered work

Judged on whether it arrived in time.

Procurement is measured by outcome, not activity. These are packages we delivered, the constraint that made them difficult, and what changed as a result.

Second-source qualification removed a single-supplier dependency

Challenge: A critical machined component was available from a single supplier whose lead time had extended from six to eighteen weeks, with no contractual protection against further slippage.
Result: A qualified second source was in place within four months, lead time on the component returned to eight weeks, and the original supplier improved terms once dependency was removed.

Remote mine site supplied through consolidated quarterly shipments

Challenge: Component supply arrived in fragmented consignments with unpredictable customs clearance, and inland transport to site added weeks that were rarely planned for.
Result: Clearance delays fell substantially, freight cost per consignment reduced by 22%, and the site moved from reactive ordering to a planned replenishment cycle.

Bespoke hydraulic power unit built to an existing machine footprint

Challenge: A 30-year-old press power unit was failing repeatedly, but the available floor area and existing pipework interfaces ruled out any standard replacement unit.
Result: The replacement unit was installed during a scheduled weekend. Oil temperature stabilised 14 °C lower than the original installation and unplanned press stoppages attributed to hydraulics fell to zero over the following year.

Bearing supply consolidated across four manufacturing sites

Challenge: Four sites bought bearings independently from eleven suppliers. Reference duplication was widespread, stock was uneven between sites, and unplanned purchases at premium prices were routine.
Result: Active references reduced by 31%, critical spares availability improved to 96%, and total bearing spend fell by 18% year on year without any change in specification.

Obsolete drive platform migrated across a single shutdown window

Challenge: Pumping station drives had reached end of support, with no spares available and a control platform that could not be extended. The site could only be taken offline for 36 hours.
Result: All six drives were replaced and commissioned within the outage window, with parameter sets loaded before delivery. The station returned to automatic control 7 hours ahead of the plan.

Shutdown-critical valve package delivered against a fixed turnaround window

Challenge: A planned turnaround required 68 process valves with full material traceability. The original supplier confirmed a lead time four weeks beyond the shutdown date, with no route to recovery.
Result: The complete package arrived eleven days before the turnaround with certification collated into a single data book. No valve was rejected at goods-in and no scope was deferred to the next shutdown.
