Case Study
Refinery Operator Increases Mechanical Availability, Reduces 34M USD/yr Gap in Lost Production by 14M USD in 1 Year
Regular Data Collection and Analysis Combined with Robust Action Planning and Implementation Methodologies Support Accelerated Improvements
Challenge
A refinery aimed to accelerate maintenance and reliability performance improvement. Further, they looked to reduce recruiting challenges for a new refinery expansion by optimizing personnel resources in existing operations.
Solution
Results
The operator achieved significant improvement in overall performance — a 42% (14M USD reduction) in net gap primarily attributable to an increase in mechanical availability. The operator is now better positioned to staff the new refinery expansion.
