- Keeping the fleet operational
- the offshore projects
- procurement of NPR.
Each team has a Team Lead and in total there are 5 Tactical Buyers, 9 Contract engineers and 12 Operational Buyers.
Over the past 3 years, Procurement has made significant progress within the organization. The largest MRO commodities have been contracted, significantly reducing the number of suppliers. The rest of the organization now recognizes the added value of procurement and works well with the improvements. However, there is still much room for improvement. One example is that approximately 75% of the €80 million in consumables is still purchased from non-contracted parties.
