GEPLAN – Mission-Critical Logistics
Intelligence for PEMEX (2006-)
Supporting Chicontepec—one of the most ambitious energy development programmes at the time— the programme combined multi-billion-dollar investment, projected development at massive well count, technically difficult reservoirs and a highly experimental operating environment.
This made conventional logistics insufficient. The operation required a real-time intelligence layer capable of integrating information across contractors, maintenance activity, field execution and changing production realities, so logistics could continuously adapt to specific, experimental and evolving operational conditions.
GEPLAN was designed and implemented as an integrated platform connecting logistics, maintenance, inventory, procurement, telemetry and operational estimation in a single environment.
The system included:
- Real-time vehicle tracking and satellite communications
- Logistics planning and dispatch coordination
- Workshop, preventive and predictive maintenance
- Inventory, warehouse and spare parts management
- Procurement and supplier workflows
- Consignment inventory with third-party suppliers
- Production estimation and operational analytics
- Integration with PEMEX logistics and operational processes
- Dashboards, alerts and decision-support capabilities
Unlike traditional transformation programmes, GEPLAN was implemented without major upfront CAPEX.Delivered through a PEMEX transport concessionaire, the programme started with warehouse stabilisation, inventory clean-up and basic operational controls. Each improvement generated measurable savings, which funded the next phase: purchasing, remanufacturing, workshop intelligence, predictive maintenance, logistics and finally integration with PEMEX. Positive benefits appeared within the first three months and were continuously reinvested into the next sprint.
GEPLAN eventually became more than a logistics platform. It became the operational backbone connecting transport, maintenance, field operations and decision-making across one of the most complex industrial environments in Mexico.
