Downstream Manufacturing, Transportation and Distribution

Downstream manufacturing, transportation and distribution businesses are working in an increasingly competitive and volatile marketplace, with stricter environmental regulations and evolving business models. Refining and chemical manufacturers face complexities such as heavier, more sour and costly crude oil, aging infrastructure and a declining experienced workforce. All must protect margins by streamlining processes and leveraging resources effectively. They require innovative models and solutions for improving equipment reliability and performance, and optimizing capacity, distribution fleets, inventories and overall operations.
