LBO’s supply chain Sample Clauses

LBO’s supply chain. The supply chain of offshore deliveries in LBO is shown in Figure 5. According to the company, a supply chain like this is a typical supply chain for projects. This chain starts with the planning of the project to get the right equipment and materials to the right platform at the right time. By materials we mean prefabrication and installation material that are installed permanently or temporarily. Consumables like protective equipment (e.g. gloves, face masks etc) are another type of materials. By equipment we mean tools and other equipment that is stored in LBO’s warehouse and are “sold” to projects. After the planning process, it is the warehouse’s responsibility to find the equipment the project need, and they, or the purchase department, might have to do some purchasing to fulfill the order. When the warehouse staff has packed all the needed equipment, the container is sent to the supply base by truck and then shipped to the platform by offshore supply vessels. In some projects there is a need for larger and prefabricated material, and in this case the subcontractor will ensure for delivery of the shipment to the base. The container, as well as additional prefabricated material (if needed), is returned to the warehouse when the project is completed.
