Industries

Eight asset-intensive sectors where downtime economics, engineered spares and regulated materials shape every supply chain decision.

Industries

Deep in a few sectors rather than shallow across all of them.

Asset-intensive supply chains behave differently from consumer ones. Lead times run in months, spares are engineered rather than catalogued, materials are regulated, and a single day of unplanned downtime can exceed the cost of an entire programme.

We deliberately decline work outside these sectors. It keeps our benchmarks meaningful and our consultants credible in the first meeting.

  • Engineered spares and long-lead-time procurement
  • Regulated and hazardous materials handling
  • Turnaround, shutdown and outage planning
  • Field, offshore and remote-site inventory

Sectors

Eight sectors we know from the inside.

Oil, Gas & Energy

Upstream, midstream and downstream operators. Turnaround planning, offshore logistics and the critical-spares discipline that keeps a platform producing.

Industrial Manufacturing

Discrete and mixed-mode manufacturers with engineered products, configurable BOMs and complex aftermarket obligations.

Marine & Offshore

Fleet operators and offshore contractors managing spares across moving assets, bonded stores and multi-jurisdiction customs.

Mining & Metals

Remote-site inventory, heavy-equipment maintenance and the long procurement lead times that come with specialist plant.

Utilities & Power

Generation, transmission and distribution networks with regulated asset bases and strict outage windows.

Chemicals & Process

Batch and continuous process manufacturers with hazardous materials, lot genealogy and rigorous compliance reporting.

Engineering & Construction

Project-based procurement, site logistics and materials management across dispersed and temporary locations.

Public Infrastructure

Transport authorities and infrastructure operators balancing procurement transparency with operational urgency.

Adjacent Sectors

We occasionally take work outside these sectors — but only where the supply chain characteristics genuinely match.

Sector Realities

What makes these supply chains different.

01

Downtime economics dominate every decision

When an hour of lost production exceeds a year of software licensing, availability of the right part beats inventory efficiency every time. Standard optimisation models get this backwards.

02

Demand signals are lumpy and event-driven

Consumption is driven by maintenance events and turnarounds, not by seasonality. Statistical forecasting alone fails; the plan must be coupled to the maintenance schedule.

03

Master data is genuinely hard

Engineered spares carry manufacturer part numbers, OEM equivalents, supersessions and site-specific naming. Deduplication is a specialist exercise, not a data-cleansing script.

04

Compliance is not optional or negotiable

Hazardous materials, export control, lot traceability and regulated procurement all constrain design. These constraints are inputs, not exceptions handled later.
