We at Harapa International understand that supply chains in different industries have certain unique planning and execution needs. The Harapa platform has been designed in such a way as to suit the requirements of a number of industries.
The energy industry is seeing a shift in industry dynamics due to emergence of renewable energy. Industries using the dominant form of energy generation that is fossil fuels face different challenges than the ones using renewable sources like solar or wind.
For conventional energy industries setting up a power plant is the most important decision which has to take into account a lot of factors like availability of fuel, environmental implications, connectivity to the grid, etc. The companies also have to focus on maintaining availability of fuel to ensure that operations are not disrupted. In these cases transportation planning and supply planning assume a lot of importance.
With tightening environment regulation cutting carbon emissions is also an important task for organizations. Renewable energy companies on the other hand have to put in a lot of planning upfront to decide the location of wind farms. Once this is finalized a major challenge is handling the logistics of moving large and heavy equipment to the selected locations. Often logistics costs for a wind farm can go upto 25% of the total cost.
Hence a great amount of thought has to be put into transportation planning and deciding the right route, time and vehicle for transportation.
Harapa solutions address planning needs of all segments of the energy industry including:
