The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate stage delays waiting on a consumable held elsewhere, dead stock ageing while another district buys the same item, and demand forecast from history instead of from the calendar. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- Reads the frac calendar, historical consumption per stage and supplier lead times.
- Forecasts consumable demand per district per week from planned stages and duty.
- Recommends transfers, flags dead stock and raises purchase orders ahead of lead time.
What It Removes
- Stage delays waiting on a consumable held elsewhere
- Dead stock ageing while another district buys the same item
