Usually procurement cost of an item is not just the cost of commodity received from the supplier but it includes all the other cost elements such as Operation, maintenance , disposal etc. This is usually referred as “Total Life Cycle Cost -TLCC”. TLCC optimization is an aim for any procurement function, however such optimization heavily depends on the available leverages and opportunities with the buying organisation.
At GAL we aim to achieve the TLCC optimization by using the “resource pooling” approach. GAL clients range from Shipyards to large Oil & Gas contractors which in turn offers a wide base for resource pooling. We ensure that all the available commercial frameworks such as Price Agreements (FA), PO with top up options etc. are utilized to get optimum commodity price without compromising on quality and associated supply risks. Also our offered outsourced procurement services produce significant savings to the administrative cost of clients.
