Supply Chain Management

The ever-increasing demand for energy, petrochemicals & their derivatives produced from valuable petroleum feedstock has pushed oil giants to reach more customers and increase their market reach and profitability. Supply chains are growing bigger by the day and the petroleum industry is finding the development and management of the same a challenging task.

The supply chain of the petroleum industry is extremely complex compared to other industries. The variability in the price and demand for the feedstock and products makes it very difficult to manage supply chain planning. The recent developments around alternate energy have introduced additional factors impacting the supply-demand balance.
