Phase 1: Control is exercised over offshore/imported spares, optimising the supply chain and reducing total cost of ownership through the removal of non-value add links, delivering in weekly consolidated schedules, from multiple global suppliers at simplified payment terms. MRO materials are categorised and grouped, based on the usage frequency, cost to carry, supplier type.

Import processes are taken under Entec control, creating a full door to door process.
