03SERVICE SYSTEM

One integrated engineering
supply-chain solution.

RuiZe is the brain. XCD is the chassis. Together we turn advisory into something you can receive, install and verify.

Large petrochemical tank farm 03 / 06
From selection and modelling to materials and site, the service runs through the whole project.
01THE ARCHITECTURE

Three layers.
One closed loop.

Advisory, materials and site support on one delivery map—fewer interfaces, fewer accountability gaps.

INTELLIGENCE / 01
RuiZe Consulting · Intelligence

Selection, cost modelling, compliance and feasibility. An independent view that resolves technical risk early.

DELIVERY / 02
XCD · Materials & delivery

Materials, cold connections, fireproofing and insulation, global scheduling. The plan becomes a system that can be installed and accepted.

ASSURANCE / 03
On-site guidance & training

Technical briefing, installation guidance and supplier training—so the last mile actually lands.

    A structured supplier entry and exit mechanism.
  • KPI-based control
    Make performance visible and enforceable with data.
03 / ENABLEMENT

Organisation & talent

  • Global organisation
    Design an agile procurement structure for overseas projects.
  • Procurement training
    Practical training that turns experience into organisational capability.
05AVL STRATEGY

Specifications protect the floor.
An AVL protects the margin.

Every sourcing decision has a basis; every delivery can withstand an audit.

1
STEP 1

Set the baseline

Convert project drawings and international standards into precise technical specifications.

2
STEP 2

Set the rules

Set a technical evaluation threshold at tender stage to screen out vendors that can only cut price.

3
STEP 3

Build the ecosystem

Build an approved vendor list where every supplier is usable, comparable and traceable.

06RFX SERVICES

RFI / RFQ / RFP
under control

Technical specifications are the foundation; structured process replaces relationship-based negotiation.

RFI

Request for Information

Understand supplier capability and the market.

RFQ

Request for Quotation

Obtain firm pricing with technical pre-review.

RFP

Request for Proposal

Evaluate technical and commercial proposals together.

Technical pre-review+ TCO-based comparison= A procurement result that stands up to audit
077-STEP METHOD

From strategic sourcing
to continuous improvement.

Seven connected steps, modularised to project scale and compliance needs—without lowering the standard.

PHASE 1 · PLANPHASE 2 · EXECUTEPHASE 3 · IMPROVE
01

Category profile

Break drawings down into precise technical specifications.

02

Sourcing strategy

Navigate international standards and define the alternative strategy.

03

Supplier portfolio

Use the global network to build an AVL-backed portfolio.

04

Solution selection

Evaluate cold-connection and other cost-saving solutions.

05

Negotiate & select

TCO-based negotiation to remove price padding.

06

Execute

Tight risk control and expediting to avoid idle time.

07

Improve

Post-project review and data feedback into the next cycle.

08PDCA

Make every procurement cycle
a foundation for margin.

PDCA is the international engineering process method recommended by ISO and FIDIC—cyclical, cumulative, improving.

P

Plan

Technical selection, compliance pre-review, category strategy and TCO modelling.

D

Do

Global resources, agile scheduling and qualified alternatives delivered to plan.

C

Check

Resident checks against specifications, with strict delivery and quality audits.

A

Act

Add proven suppliers to the AVL, review data and update the playbook.

09SUPPLIER KPIs

Why the lowest price
is often the most expensive.

In Dickson’s supplier performance research, quality and on-time delivery carry the highest weight. Price comes last.

The XCD value: RuiZe protects quality, our network protects delivery, and only then do we take the real cost out.

Break the one-size-fits-all
cost trap.

Different categories need different plays. Risk and impact decide the supplier strategy.

RISK →
STRATEGIC

Strategic

High spend · high risk
RuiZe joins selection; TCO replaces blind price pressure; the best alternative is found.

LEVERAGE

Leverage

High impact · low risk
Use the global AVL to bring qualified suppliers into competition and remove price padding.

BOTTLENECK

Bottleneck

Low impact · high risk
For constrained or hazardous materials, use the collaboration network to keep supply moving.

ROUTINE

11CATEGORY MAP

Focused on the high-requirement,
high-value, high-risk categories.

Four professional categories cover the materials and systems that matter, from civil works to equipment.

MODULE 01

Civil & building

Insulation systems, cold-connection steel, acoustic and vibration control, fasteners, HVAC piping.
Fire ratings are controlled; cold-connection methods reduce labour and remove hot-work risk.

MODULE 02

Electrical & instrumentation

Explosion-proof lighting, mounting supports, earthing, firestop systems.
IECEx / ATEX-compliant lighting and firestop solutions remove acceptance risk at the source.

MODULE 03

Process piping

Specialty pipe, valves, gaskets, support systems.
High-standard sealing and corrosion protection for long, leak-free service in harsh petrochemical conditions.

MODULE 04

Equipment

Integrated heating and cooling, insulation, acoustic and vibration control.
Value engineering optimises selection and delivers compliant alternatives at a better cost.

12ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

Advisory that does not
stop at paper.

No paper exercise. We start on site, target real savings and manage the process until every recommendation becomes a supply-chain result.

01

Diagnose & plan

Research → diagnostic → tailored plan

Site walkdown, drawing review, compliance screening and TCO modelling—finding the hidden leaks.

02

Mobilise & deliver

Confirm → mobilise → manage

Rapid sourcing, expediting and on-site technical guidance—so every saving is actually delivered.

03

Review & enable

Close-out → knowledge capture

Data review, AVL update and team training turn project success into a lasting client asset.
