Managed Service
Materials management inefficiencies don’t just slow projects down, they increase costs and risk. ASCO’s fully managed service takes ownership of your materials function - from inventory planning and logistics coordination to handling, storage, and supply - ensuring operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and measurable cost savings, while allowing your team to focus on core business objectives.
Roles that optimise your materials operations
ASCO provides a full suite of roles designed to optimise efficiency, compliance, and operational resilience across your operations. These include:
-
Materials Managers:
Lead high-performing teams, driving inventory optimisation, process standardisation, and continuous improvement while overseeing compliance and stakeholder engagement. -
Inventory Teams:
Manage planning, repairs, disposals, and stock analysis, ensuring critical materials are available when needed and supply chains operate efficiently. -
Offshore Materials Controllers (PMCs):
Coordinate all offshore materials movements, handling manifesting, critical spares, consumables, and waste management. Embedded in client assets, they ensure operational continuity, compliance, and safety. -
Onshore Materials Controllers (OMCs):
Align material supply with operational schedules, manage logistics and call-offs, and support maintenance teams to maximise asset readiness and minimise disruption.
