Farewell message from Marc and Bernd.



Capt Shariff,

I’d like to express my appreciation for all the work you’ve done for GLMS and the company in general. You are full of energy and ideas; where would we’ve been be without that?
I came late to the project but still then I could see and really feel the important role you’ve played and are still playing for this global and regional project. Thanks for all of this.
Wish you a very good time now, full of happiness and the right mix between new challenges and free time for yourself and/or with your family.


Big thanks and with warm regards,


Bernd

Dear Marc,

Thanks and I will tell you the secret recipe !.


Being an Entrepreneur or better known an PirateKing the most relevant skill that helped me out is actually in the Implementation skills after having a clear and specific idea about what the GLMS product or service does and how it does it.


We should also know who is going to be interested in having this product or service when it exists. Plus with the Local Team, SIEP Central Team & IBS expertise's to translate the concept into reality. (,,,,,,i.e. pirating their knowledge base so to say !.:))


Lastly but most important, with the Shell's working environment that supports this project execution which supports innovation and product development among its employees.


But please remember, we have yet to deliver Phase 111 i.e. Material Movement Module, which should be easy once you link to and roll over what existing SAP OLM does, across to GLMS. Note; Only service that GLMS don't cater for is the material order from Vendor. GLMS starts after goods receipt at the onshore warehouse, whereby the material is packed and shipped across to the offshore location.


Presently OLM does shipping using voyages and shipments. The actual material is loaded into containers or baskets and into vessel holds. Materials can be held at onshore location, if required, and returns can be created. Returns are used to return defective goods or extra goods from offshore location to the warehouse. These are the activities that GLMS has to take over from OLM and deliver it together with the Vessel Manifest for every individual legs and from location to location.


Regards and do e-mail me on my island ; shariff.abbas@gmail.com if you guys still needs any further clarification.

From Marc.

Shariff,


I would like to extend a big thank you for your invaluable contribution to the GLMS project.
Your drive and determination to get GLMS deployed in Malaysia and other OU's, combined with your knowledge of the business and business processes, has made a positive difference.

I have valued very much the good, direct and open communication flavoured with humour.


By the way it is now official, the ladies have voted you as the Good Looking Man in Shell:)))
The central GLMS team would like to wish you all the best to your and your family for the future and I hope you can fully enjoy your time on your island. Beware of another pirate on the high seas....... Keep in touch.
