Small Project Alliance for execution of projects

Purpose of Presentation
To introduce the Small Project Alliance for execution of projects Vision Definition Strategic objectives Strategic roadmap Small Project Alliance key drivers Overall project development & implementation diagram Similarities & differences Generic roles and responsibilities How will we manage accountability Procurement Bidding Process Estimating Planning & Scheduling Cost Reporting Invoicing

Vision
To be an indispensable and trusted partner in the development and execution of Sasol Projects This will be attained through Responsiveness; Availability; Flexibility; Service Efficiency (cost, schedule, quality and safety); and Seamless integration of our service delivery, work methods systems and procedures with that of all stakeholders.

Definition of a Small Project

Not new technology Not complex (not more than two process steps) Not Sasol core technology No licensor or proprietary equipment involved Low technical risk & low business risk SHE/EIA under existing approvals/agreements Cost Guideline < R20 million Capex

Strategic Objectives

Total alignment with all Sasol Technology Stakeholders Implementation of elegant, Fit for Purpose work methods & procedures (realising the benefits of low hanging fruit) Quick turnaround on project development & implementation Containing cost of services below 20% Leveraging Sasol Technologys resources on low risk projects

Strategic Roadmap

Define the rules of the game and get buy in on the operating model Facilitation through learning curves Internal (Sasol Technology) Change Management Performance metrics & control by Alliance Steering Committee(s)

Small Projects Alliance Key Drivers


Establish clear focus on Client objectives Maximise use of Alliance partners resources Reduce workload of Sasol Technologys resources Strive for continuous alliance improvement in the SPA execution system and procedures Develop trusting relationships between the alliance, its Clients and Sasol Technologys services All transactions take place in an environment of trust, openness and mutual respect Responsiveness Availability Flexibility Service Efficiency
