Royal Dutch Shell

Supply chain interventions

Highly fragmented end-to-end fuels delivery processes left petrol stations in the United Kingdom, South Africa and Germany “dry”. Tank stock-outs caused customer dissatisfaction, value leakage and despite the problem been tackled many times before, it was never sustainably solved.

We coached executives across departmental silos, introduced value stream thinking to create alignment and turned around affected markets.

The team was awarded Shell Downstream most prestigious recognition, the pinnacle award for “superior customer experience” for reducing South African fuel stock-outs from 7.5% to below 1.5%.

Royal Dutch Shell

HSSE, revenue and net promotor score improvement for underperforming retailers

We drove tail-end management of bottom 10% of retailers by coaching struggling franchise partners in a minimum wage environment and helped them to replicate best practices from higher performing clusters.

After three months, HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, Environment) performance stabilized at acceptable levels, net promotor score increased by 15% and convenience retail sales by 10% per cluster.

We were recognized with a Shell Retail service excellence award for Empowering the Front-line.
