CTRM RPA for Refinery Operations

Business Questions Refinery Operations Stakeholders Need to Answer

Refinery Operations are complex by nature requiring cross functional, multi-system data entry and data validation aligned with enterprise governance standards to answer business critical questions needed .  This process can take hours and hours of human effort to perform repetitive, yet critical tasks.  These tasks lead to business questions requiring timely data like.

Common Business Questions Asked by Refinery Operations

What are my projected
logistics imbalances?

How to manage imbalances
from uncertainties?

What is my actual
P&L?

These questions are critical to the health of the business. However, business process complexity often hinders productive teams from providing up-to-the-moment data needed by management.  Robotic process automation (RPA) offers a better solution. By documenting the steps involved in answering these questions, RPA can perform these manual processes much faster.
