Chemicals / energy

The chemicals and energy industry today has some of the highest supply chain costs of all industry sectors, accounting for almost 50% of corporate value-added activity.

With the effects of globalisation and the increasing pressures to protect and improve margins, enhancing supply chain performance has become key for businesses in the chemicals and energy sector because it can achieve measurable improvements on the bottom line.

LCP knows that a radical shift in the industry’s approach to supply chain management would bring significant benefits to the industry.

We have:

• created a European supply chain organisation and infrastructure for a global lubricants business
• developed and delivered a global programme for assessing, developing and tendering with bulk hauliers for a major energy company which is now the standard for the company and has been used to save $millions
• used the LCP supply chain diagnostics to identify savings of tens of $millions in a major USA chemicals plant - including major changes in the use of rail transport across the continent.

We achieve world-class results with our clients and have worked with most of the major global chemical and oil businesses - delivering projects in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.
