Intelligent Integrated Management for New Ventures in High Risk Developing Countries

Abstract

The world is becoming flatter through global integration and ‘smarter’ through interconnected communication and com-merce. For oil and gas organizations this means finding ways to launch business ventures in new regions. While Afghanistan is a high risk zone with negative trade balance, weak currency & infrastructure, extreme security conditions and cultural di-versity, it is estimated to possess substantial reserves of oil and gas that may shake up Central Asia’s increasingly competitive energy contest. The proposed framework is a step by step model which by using core competency check, decision metrics, balance scorecard models, cost equations, intelligent forecasting tools and several critical domains of knowledge management, makes sure that the organization takes right decisions regarding the manner of activities strategizing and execution, in mesh of diversified challenges. The SCOR model is integrated with processes that identify potential risk elements throughout the supply chain in Afghanistan, taken as base cases, and defines metrics to assess the potential impact of these risk elements. The framework thus developed has been used to build powerful simulation models that integrate discrete event simulation and spreadsheets. The simulation models are hierarchical and use sub models that capture activities specific to supply chains and breaks it down into further sub levels to evaluate the supply chain performance. The model enables full leverage of capital investment, creation of a supply chain road map, alignment of business functions, reducing complexities in distribution network, and an average of two to six times return on investment. By maximizing predictability and controlling risk through excellence and efficiency in the upstream supply chain for Oil & Gas, this model provides an excellent tool for intelligent integrated management for any region that has similar mesh of chal-lenges as faced in Afghanistan.

SCOR Implementation in Oil and Gas Company from an Emerging Market

“…(Estampe, 2014). A number of implementations of various standardized and customized models for performance measurement have been carried out in emerging markets (Allahdad, Bano, & Akhtar, 2012;Asree & Rao, 2011;Banomyong & Supan, 2011;Georgise et al, 2013;Golparvar & Seifbarghy, 2009;Haider, Abdullah, Khalid, Mirajker, & Haider, 2013;McCormack, Ladeira, & de Oliveira, 2008;Reyes & Giachetti, 2010;Salman et al, 2013); out of which SCOR implementations will be discussed in later sections.…”

“…Subsequently, 13 improvement projects were highlighted based on the SCOR best practices and were prioritized. Haider et al (2013) described the implementation of SCOR model in Afghanistan, where suggested actions resulted in considerable improvements like: 9% reduction in import procurement lead-time; and 25% in procurement costs. Bala and Kumar (2011) conducted their study in India and proposed SCOR as the best fitting model for the fast moving consumer goods' (FMCG) supply chains.…”

“…El esquema conocido como Marketing Mix, se encuentra conformado por la mezcla de diversas variables que han ido cambiando según el autor que ha abordado este tema, pero básicamente conserva las clasificadas más comunes, por parte de McCarthy (Haider, Zafar, Khalid, Majid, Abdullah & Sarwar, 2019): Producto, que representa los bienes y servicios que se comercializan en el mercado (Guevara, Álvarez, Villacis, Moreno, Morales & Moreno, 2019).…”

Association between Contraceptive Usage and Maternal Education towards Birth Spacing: Evidence from Pakistan Demographic Health Survey (PDHS) 2017–18

“…Now, if the economy can provide them with employment opportunities and create new jobs for them, Pakistan may make a unique kind of progress. Another change in Pakistan's demographic is that family size is decreasing daily (Belkebir, & Moumen, 2022;Haider et al, 2019). The preferences of parents have changed with the passage of time from large family members to small ones.…”
