When properly designed, planning and scheduling can actually add millions of dollars per year to the bottom line. Planning and scheduling is a continuum of decisions starting with crude selection and ending with establishing short-term targets for crude processing and blending. It also includes maintaining optimization and operation simulation models. It is thought that conservatively, a refinery may save from $5 million to $10 million a year if it pays more attention to the processes behind proper planning and scheduling. Of course, the amount of savings can reach staggering proportions for companies now at the bottom of the Solomon Associates Inc. refinery performance ranking.
