麦肯锡合伙人 Johann Raunig 表示：“这些问题意味着供应链安全应该成为首席执行官议程的首要议题，因为组织必须迅速实施灵活、全面的战略来应对这一动荡时期。我们已经看到，生产效率正在下降，而运营支出却在上升，项目预算和进度里程碑正在被错过，而且主要供应商正在努力按时提供劳动力和材料。这是一个恶性循环：更多的工作是在紧急情况下进行的，而成本却越来越高。”
The latest analysis from McKinsey & Company reveals that oil and gas industry costs could increase between 6 to 10% in 2023 due to labour uncertainties and raw-materials inflation.
The analysis uncovers that primary operation tasks, such as regular inspections and maintenance, are becoming more expensive as labour rates grow upwards of 9% per annum and costs for steel casings and tubing also rise at 5% per annum. This, coupled with spiralling marine and aviation logistics prices, is causing increasing operating expenditure (OPEX) rises.
The article examines how oil and gas companies are grappling with the business fallout of sustained global inflation, geopolitical developments in Europe and Asia and increasing economic headwinds. McKinsey details how the supply chain risk caused by these factors is affecting field operations and project delivery, with traditional mitigation strategies proving inadequate.
Johann Raunig, Partner at McKinsey said “These issues mean supply chain security should be catapulting to the top of the CEO agenda as organizations must swiftly implement a nimble, comprehensive strategy to navigate this turbulent period. We’re already seeing that production efficiency is dropping while operating expenditure is rising, project budgets and schedule milestones are being missed, and key suppliers are struggling to provide labor and materials on time. It’s a vicious cycle: more work is carried out under emergency conditions, which is increasingly expensive.”
McKinsey notes organisations that are taking measures to secure their supply chain and avoid market volatility are seeing significantly less inflationary pressure, saving ~15% on costs. The insight details key high impact levers that can mitigate supply chain reliability risks that could be used to pivot away from the typical cost reduction mindset including:
Early procurement in strategic projects to accelerate long purchase times by adjusting the sanctioning period.
Revising the approval gating process or enabling earlier budget approvals.
Improving the risk-reward ratio in major contracts to incentivise performance and consolidate contract volumes.
When it comes to staffing, enhancing offshore execution efficiency and digitising inspection data could make the workplace more appealing.
