As part of the response measures, more pressure has been imposed on supply chain and reduction of the supply cost in particular. A new leader of global procurement & supply chain function was apponited in April 2009, whose role was to regenerate effective work within PSCM (Procurement & Supply Chain Excellence) globally and to reduce supply chain cost. Taking into account the different imperatives of global and local PSCM teams, the change were not communicated well. Moreover, the creation of dual accountability for North Sea PSCM and stressing the importance of hierarchical reporting system have created tensions between two teams, resulted in employee’s resistance to change.

The step-by-step analysis in the following areas was carried out: Step 1: Mobilise commitment through joint diagnosis of business problems Step 2: Develop a shared vision of how to organize Step 3: Consensus, competence and cohesion Step 4: Spread revitalization without pushing from the top Step 5: Institutionalize Step 6: Monitor and adjust
In this case, the original attempt of their change was not yet embedded due to improper operations in step one and two. The failure resulted in having unsatisfactory results in the following steps.
RESULTS:
