Chemicals, Oil & Gas
The Chemicals, Oil and Gas sectors have long been at the forefront of the use of simulation and optimisation tools. Many of these tools have been used at the plant level for engineering purposes or plant scheduling. The lack of appreciation of financial or global issues by these lower level tools raises significant questions of their real value. How do you know if a locally optimised plan actually optimises the business?
More recently large organisations in this sector are realising that the spreadsheets long used for making strategic decisions are inadequate in this rapidly changing global market. Not only do they not fully represent the operational constraints that exist in their businesses, they lack the flexibility provided by Enterprise Optimizer® to rapidly develop practical financially productive decisions and compare and contrast inter relationships that exist between spreadsheet models.
Enterprise Optimizer® provides an integrated modelling, optimisation and planning engine which can dramatically enhance the profitability of strategic and operational decision making within companies in this dynamic sector.
