The Situation
PRs and approvals were informal, order status was opaque, and each site ran a different process variant.
Material delay translated directly to idle crews and site productivity loss.
Because process data was fragmented, recurring delay patterns were hard to isolate.
What We Did
We established one structured procurement flow from request through delivery.
- Implemented standardized purchase requests and approval workflows.
- Introduced purchase orders, quotation management, and delivery tracking.
- Enabled order visibility across project locations.
The Results
Procurement lead time reduced 30% with cross-site visibility and better planning confidence.
Sites now receive material against a trackable schedule rather than reactive follow-up.
Strategic Takeaway
- When each site procures differently, system-level waste stays hidden.
- On-site lead time is measured in idle labor cost, not paperwork delay.
