Introduction

This programme is specifically designed to identify and resolve issues of production planning and scheduling in petroleum refineries that are most commonly encountered by refinery personnel working in this area. Issues of operations scheduling for petroleum refining are discussed in depth. It will also be enhanced with planning and scheduling examples and will provide relevant background information of the subject.

Seminar Objectives

Gain an appreciation of modern planning and scheduling tools that will be useful for planning of crude and product deliveries in their facilities
Assist in improved operations, optimization, upgrading and modification of existing facilities
Will result in improved profitability and help in continuous modernization of facilities
Develop the skills necessary to apply risk assessment techniques

Training Methodology

Throughout the programme active participation is encouraged and includes open discussions, questionnaires and team exercises of actual examples.
