Strengthening execution of a major Shell project

About MRC Global

MRC Global is a leading supplier of industrial valves, piping, fittings, and flanges. The company provides customized solutions to various industries, including oil, gas, and industrial sectors, with a strong focus on quality and reliability. Operating on a “one-stop-shop” principle, MRC Global procures, assembles, and delivers tailored products to meet customer needs.

The challenge

MRC Global recently faced a significant challenge with a large-scale project for Shell. The project demanded meticulous planning and the timely delivery of specialized components. However, the complexity of the project, coupled with the strained market for valves, made it difficult to procure all required materials on time. Simultaneously, MRC Global was keen to ensure that its other customers were not affected by the increased workload. To address this challenge, MRC Global enlisted the expertise of Project Material Control (PMC).

The project was too large to handle internally. People often underestimate how much work goes into the post-sale process. Full-time support is essential to keep everything on track.

The solution: PMC provides structural support

PMC assigned two full-time professionals to assist with project management and expediting. Their responsibilities included monitoring and coordinating orders, ensuring timely deliveries, and managing documentation workflows. Thanks to their support, MRC Global successfully delivered the required materials on time and according to specifications.

PMC helped us coordinate all the logistical processes. It sounds simple, but getting the right items to the right place at the right time is a monumental task.

PMC’s services

PMC supported MRC Global by:

  • Conducting expediting to ensure timely and complete deliveries.
  • Managing documentation workflows and ensuring quality standards.
  • Providing logistical support to streamline the supply chain.

These services were executed by PMC professionals who seamlessly integrated into MRC Global’s team, enabling an effective and collaborative partnership.

The result: A successful project

With PMC’s support, the Shell project was completed successfully, without impacting service to other customers. PMC’s involvement improved coordination and ensured the smooth execution of the project.

If anyone is looking for a reliable partner for project support, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ronald and his team at PMC.
