Chris
L. Jones
World-Class
Specialist in
Procurement & Supply Chain
Management
Fellow of the Chartered Institute
of
Purchasing and Supply, U.K.
In
a promotional publication for
a 2001 seminar in Singapore, J.D.
Edwards referred to him as a "reputed
specialist in the field of Purchasing
and Supply Chain Management who
has held a variety of logistics
management positions in established
organizations worldwide such as
the U.K. Ministry of Defense,
Shell International The Hague,
Shell BP Development Corporation
Nigeria and the Portuguese National
Refining Company."
He
was Manager and Global Procurement
Coordinator of Shell International
where he developed and implemented
processes that enabled the Shell
Group of Companies to benefit
from leveraging its US$32 billion
purchasing power internationally.
A cost reduction of 20% was achieved
on selected commodities over total
purchases exceeding US$32 billion
per annum.
Three
years ago he formed SCIP Limited,
a company specializing in Strategic
Procurement and Supply Chain Management
and has focused on working with
other consultancies in researching
and establishing methods of sharing
developments in supply chain processes
and techniques including the topical
e-procurement.
More
recently, as founder member together
with three other directors., he
formed Virtuality DCP Limited
which provides an international
network of over 30 associates
working in cooperation to offer
strategic, operational and advisory
services on Demand Chain Management
to a wide cross-section of industries.
Chris
believes that there are still
major opportunities for Procurement
and Supply Chain Management to
improve business performance,
but until senior executives are
persuaded to acknowledge the benefits,
they will continue to miss the
opportunity to achieve competitive
edge.
"A
lively training course -
Its definitely world-class!"
"Systematic and clear
model
great presenter!"
"Very competent instructor
- concepts and examples
were interesting."
"Concepts were concise
and workshop exercises were
good opportunities
for applying to the workplace."
