“ We could not have done this without the overarching support from our senior leaders ”

So , it ’ s about integrating the planning of Operations , Asset Management and Supply Chain , and doing so in a real-time manner ,” Ghuldu comments .
“ We can utilize technologies such as condition monitoring and end-to-end visibility of our Supply Chain , which helps us understand what parts you need , what parts are sourced , lead times for delivery of parts . Before even realising that a part is needed , the system has identified the pattern because we have an algorithm in place to be able to detect certain conditions that are lining up . Human intervention becomes more of a check , rather than to generate a demand plan .”
“ There have been critical lessons along the way ,” he says . “ Acknowledging our gaps and taking accountability for areas where things should have been done better is the only way we can improve going forward . Humility goes a long way .”
Ghuldu couldn ’ t have achieved what he has without one core component ,
