Home/Capabilities/07 — Execution & Control
Execution & Control
The move, run on the plan: cargo readiness, forwarder procurement, KPIs and deviations — and senior intervention when a vessel, a port or a contractor fails.
01 — What is actually being decided
The plan is the baseline. Execution is measured against it.
Management receives short, decision-grade reporting rather than operational data. These are the questions it answers every week.
- 01Is every piece technically and documentarily ready to ship: packing, marking, weights, lifting points, drawings?
- 02Which forwarder, carrier and vendor positions are on schedule — and which are only reported to be?
- 03Where are cost, schedule and claims exposure drifting from the baseline?
- 04Who in the chain owns each deviation, and what does the contract say they must do about it?
- 05When a vessel is late, a port restricts or a route closes, what is the alternative and its cost?
- 06What has this operation taught the next one?
02 — Process
From award to close-out.
The practice can act as independent adviser or sit inside the project team, reporting to the Project Director, logistics, procurement or contracts.
- 01
Forwarder procurement
RFQ, scope, qualified bidders, normalised quotations and weighted evaluation — technical suitability before apparent price.
- 02
Cargo readiness
Packing, marking, dimensions and weights, lifting points, transport drawings and documents checked with each vendor.
- 03
Control & KPIs
Project-specific indicators for cost, schedule, vessel performance, cargo readiness, port productivity and claims.
- 04
Deviation management
Deviations logged against the baseline with owner, mitigation and cost.
- 05
Crisis intervention
Rapid diagnosis, alternatives and implementation when delays, damage or contractor failure hit the critical path.
- 06
Close-out
Lessons learned, benchmarking and process improvements carried into the next operation.
