Client : BP Oil International Limited, Chicago, IL 2007 June to 2008 Feb

Role : Sr. QA Engineer

Project : iSupply

Description:

The iSupply application helps to coordinate and manage effectively the supply chain. The iSupply application, based around the monthly Mass Balance Plan, the Daily Progression Plan and the Rolling Daily Progression, enables both the systematic planning of demand and supply and the maintenance of Mass Balance in accordance with target levels that are strategically determined - at all of BP's terminals across Europe.

It is important to stress the strategic nature of the planning exercise. The objective is not just to be able to meet demand (the "Neutral Stock Level"); but to ensure that the Closing Stock Balance at the end of each month meets the "Target Stock Level". Once the Mass Balance Plan is correct, it is "fixed" (so it cannot be changed) prior to the planned month becoming the current month. Reforecast can then be made to those planned quantities; then finally actual can be both recorded and measured against planned figures. Actual closing stock levels are then fed back into the planning process for the cycle to begin again.
