1 International Supply Chain Excellence Programme Beyond Compliance

2 ABOUT THE PROGRAMME Frost & Sullivan has been working closely with management teams of various companies across Europe, India, and North America and has been involved in critical decision making with respect to supply chain efficiencies, its leanness and flexibility. With a robust on-site assessment methodology, Frost & Sullivan has played an integral role in identifying gaps in the supply chain processes and systems that eventually impact the bottom-line of a company s performance. Through our International Supply Chain Excellence Programme, Frost & Sullivan aims to partner companies in their transformation into lean global corporates. Its unique approach, pace, and direction during the entire process sets this Programme apart. The Programme has a strong focus on: Delivering competitive advantage Continuous and objective monitoring of progress towards Lean Excellence Deployment of manufacturing best practices into the organization Developing maturity in a continuum with ability to achieve national and international levels of recognition Sustained improvements through empowerment, and active involvement of personnel This Programme is currently running in India, Gulf Corporation Council (GCC, specifically covering Bahrain, Oman, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E.), Indonesia, Thailand and Turkey. 2

3 As part of this programme, while the top performing companies would be recognised, all the assessed companies would be handed over a scorecard, and an evaluation feedback would be shared. The Sectoral benchmarking against global peers is included in the feedback, so as to get more focus into the operational plans/projects of participants. This, when integrated into the business plans for the subsequent years implementation plan, would deliver maximum leverage and a clear competitive benefit to the participating company. Under the aegis of this programme, acknowledgement is planned for achievers in each of the regions covered here.

4 FROM THE MD S DESK: Greetings! Manufacturing is one crucial sector that can generate significant employment opportunities in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region. In recent years, the Middle East has undertaken efforts to diversify its economy from traditional oil exploration and processing. Industry studies reveal that standard growth in the region is nearly four times faster than the world average and the region continues to experience an unprecedented demand on its manufacturing supply base. With the Middle East going through a significant transformative phase of realigning its economic balance, it becomes imperative to draw up a strategic plan that shall enable achieving the region s economic and social objectives. Frost & Sullivan s International Supply Chain Excellence Programme is based on a scientific assessment of adequacy and effectiveness of the systems implemented in an organisation. They measure the maturity of systems and the extent of compliance in making the supply chain processes reliable and capable of delivering the planned results. I am pleased to announce the 2014 Gulf Edition, under this International Supply Chain Excellence Programme. Through this initiative, Frost & Sullivan endeavours to proliferate the concept of process quality compliance and effectiveness of systems. We also aim to assist companies in adopting supply chain excellence practices through assessments, feedback, and benchmarking. I therefore invite you to be a part of this journey and nominate your facilities to Evaluate, Engage, Learn, and Grow. Sincerely, Y. S. Shashidhar Managing Director Frost & Sullivan Middle East, North Africa and South Asia 4

6 International Supply Chain Excellence Programme ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY The strength of this Programme lies in its unique Site Assessment Methodology. Every facility will be examined on predefined factors, which capture effectiveness and efficiency of management processes such as operations, quality, productivity, customer focus, logistics, and business financials. These factors reflect a facility s potential to become a mature and an optimised supply chain. The model is based on more than 120 pre-graded checkpoints (points of assessments), which chart a facility s journey from starting to implement systems to becoming a mature organisation with sustainable near world class processes. The assessor maps the facility s current standing on a World Class map. The Executive Committee and External Members The assessment team would recommend a shortlist to the Executive Committee for final selection. Besides Frost & Sullivan Directors, the Executive Committee could empanel distinguished personnel from the Industry.

13 Manufacturing Holds the Key to Economic Diversification in the Middle East A Frost & Sullivan Perspective

14 Manufacturing Holds the Key to Economic Diversification in the Middle East: A Frost & Sullivan Perspective Despite many underlying tensions, the Middle East (ME) has maintained a positive economic outlook. This is evident from the region s ability to maintain a positive growth rate when most economies globally have struggled to be above the red line. The Gulf Co-Operation Council (GCC) countries, specifically, have maintained an average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate in excess of 5 per cent over the past decade and half. The region s rich oil and natural gas reserves have been instrumental in its growth and prominence in the global scenario and their contribution is likely to continue in the future, too. However, inherent socio-economic disadvantages associated with capital-intensive industries such as the oil and natural gas have manifested in the region, which over the years, has led to high unemployment. The heightened focus on the oil industry had relegated secondary and tertiary levels to other industrial development, and the region has now woken to the need to amend this. In the past decade, we have witnessed trends where abundance of natural resources has actually helped vitalise the non-oil economic growth in the GCC countries. Thus, developments in the region indicate the increasing focus on non-oil sectors as a means to achieve sustained economic development and elevated social status. The ME, comprising the GCC countries {Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)} and five more countries (Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq), is a heterogeneous group of nations, some with high natural resources and some with poor resources. The contrast extends to the political system, social structures, and overall economic development. Below average to moderate growth in some of these countries in the past has been compensated by boisterous growth in other oil flourishing economies, resulting in the region s economic growth to remain above global average. MIDDLE EAST INDICATORS Country Per Capita Income (USD) Industrial Production Growth Rate (%) Global Rank Labour Force (Million) Exports (USD Billion) Imports (USD Billion) Kuwait Bahrain Oman Qatar Kingdom of Saudi Arabia UAE Yemen Jordan Lebanon Iran Iraq Base Year: 2012; Source: CIA World Fact Book 14

15 The current low penetration of manufacturing contribution to GDP depicts the enormous opportunities for this sector to be a key focus area for the region. ME, today, accounts for nearly 40 per cent of the global gas reserves. However, the region contributes to only less than 10 per cent of the global gas production due to the high costs involved in liquefaction process needed for exports. This in itself presents a huge opportunity in the manufacturing / production sector. Invoking participation of the private sector in tapping this magnanimous opportunity in gas exploration and production would help in improving the manufacturing status of the region apart from creating extensive job opportunities. Middle East GDP Forecasts, , , , , Source: IMF Iraq Iran Lebanon Jordan Yemen UAE Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Qatar Oman Bahrain Kuwait Source: IMF services sector; thus, ensuring wholesome growth of the economy. Iraq Iran Lebanon Jordan Yemen UAE Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Qatar Oman Bahrain Kuwait Economic research reinforces that there is an empirical connection between the degree of industrialisation and per capita income in any developing economy. Global evidence suggests that the most industrialised countries have always been the richest, whilst the poorest nations are the ones down the industrialisation scale. Economic theories argue that the continual increase in share of the services sector affects the aggregate per capita growth to sober. Developing countries with higher share of manufacturing over the services sector are known to demonstrate more rapid growth than service-dominated economies. This principle adds impetus to the focus on manufacturing over services for economic sustenance in the ME. It is also pertinent to note that the distinction between manufacturing and services sector is blurring. Every dollar of manufacturing output is said to contain 20 cents of service input. Similarly, nearly per cent of jobs in the manufacturing industry are set to be for the services sector. Such cross linkages demonstrate that advent of manufacturing sector growth in the ME will itself unfurl enormous untapped opportunities for the At the peak of industrialisation in developed economies, manufacturing contribution to GDP has scaled to proportions of about per cent. Given the current low contribution levels of manufacturing in the region, it implies to scope and abundant opportunities for scaling up. The ME is going through a very significant transformative phase for its economy. According to Frost & Sullivan, focus on the manufacturing sector as a key diversification measure is expected to be the way forward. Legacy global success stories and assessment of the region s economic growth highlight that economic diversification is the solution to most of its problems. Identification of target industries for manufacturing promotion appears to be the next logical step. A structured approach for elevating the educational system to cater to the needs of industrial growth is deemed critical. Favourable policy environment that encourages industrial development and attracts investment will be pivotal to achieving economic growth. 15
