The Logistics Department continues to strive for improvements in its area of jurisdiction and has since the inception of SII logged fiftyseven (57) ideas. Thirty-four (34) ideas year-to-date. A total of eight ideas have been implemented since the birth of this program. One of the key projects it has implemented is printing of the general purchase order terms and conditions on the back page of every order.
This project is an essential administrative procedure and ensures suppliers conform to VALCO's purchasing requirements. The project would also help the section anticipate problems rather than to meet them as they come, and can go a long way to prevent VALCO from plunging into litigation with its attendant cost.
