3. Our Ambition and Values
OCL Operating Model
An agreement is signed between OCL and its
Clients (vessel owners or managers) in which a
fixed PPPD rate is agreed
Trading area, nationality, specific needs, etc.
The vessels prepare shopping lists, which are
communicated to OCL for processing
OCL staff check the lists and perform a number
of controls
Previous orders, Stock on board, Consumption
Guidelines, trading area, budget, etc.
Quotations are received from Suppliers and
orders are placed
Suppliers deliver goods to vessels
Vessels confirm delivery of goods and OCL pays
the suppliers
On a monthly basis, captains need to provide a
set of reporting so that to calculate the
performance of the vessel

4. Our Ambition and Values
The Issue(s)
One Chief Cook that is responsible for ordering,
storage area maintenance, cooking, and
reporting
Captains may have own agendas
One vessel receives supplies from multiple
suppliers and countries (same or similar item code,
but with different sizes, packing, UOMs, specs, etc)
What can we do and how, in an effort to
control the quality, accuracy and timely
delivery of the reporting from the vessels
(especially the Stock Inventory), while at the
same time, avoid adding more workload to
already overworked and stressed Chief
Cooks?
The performance of the company relies on
accurate monthly reporting cycles

5. Our Ambition and Values
Current Solutions
Usage of the Offline Module or excel templates
for easier reporting in a more controlled
environment
In the works, heavy revamp of the Offline Module
and introduction of a mobile application
Extensive reporting and controls for monitoring
performance, stock position, etc
Considering of introducing AI for pattern
recognition

6. Our Ambition and Values
Ideas and Considerations
RFID?
Costly, time consuming
Items with no tags? Fruit/vegetables/meat/fish?
Image recognition?
Storage areas are cold, dark and humid
Accuracy?
How do we handle stacked boxes, sacks placed
on top of each other, fresh produce or meat cuts?
Dispense machines?
Bulky, not there yet …
Laser scanners, tablets, QR codes?
Significant initial Capex, what happens if they
break, logistical nightmare
Bandwidth is scarce and extremely expensive
