1. AgipPetroli APS in Downstream Oil Industry December 2001 Survey

2. Background In order to continue to position ourselves to assist AGIP with their supply chain initiative, we provide our in-depth understanding of what is going on across the Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) space in the downstream oil & chemical industry Editorial insights: PwC has a long relationship history and significant global implementations with the three largest APS vendors, I2, Manugistics and SAP-APO. However, their software was not originally designed to accommodate the downstream oil continuous process optimisation problem. They are all challenged by the differences between the oil business and their successes in consumer products and hi-tech. Their end-to-end solution vision, incorporation of the web, real time partner collaboration and use of sophisticated optimisation engines is considered to be state-of-the-art. Aspen Tech, another PwC alliance partner, has a long history (especially with a series of recent software acquisitions) of providing reliable optimisation tools to the downstream & chemicals industry. Aspen Tech is in the process of integrating their successful series of point solutions into an end-to-end, collaborative frame work that brings APS thinking and supply chain improvements to the downstream space.

16. Related PwC Downstream Supply Chain Capabilities: • PwC has implemented a number of SAP-BW downstream & chemical data warehouse (DW) projects for Chevron & OxyChem in the USA. AGIP has requested an analysis of the design and structure of their legacy “Dorsale Supply” system. The ability to re-use or leverage this system will depend on its overall DW structure and data modeling correctness. This will be one of the major outcomes from this project analysis stage. • Over the years, PwC has invested heavily in the PwC*STARS software which covers most of the bulk supply functionality of interest to AGIP. It is event-driven and designed for the schedulers. It is installed at BPUSA, Koch Refining (2nd largest USA private company -Kansas) and PDVSA (South America). PwC*STARS can be part of a target application architecture or used as an analysis framework and best practice proof-of-concept environment. It does “what-if” analysis, but is not an optimisation tool, e.g., does not cover LP type of crude selection. PwC has detailed information on the processes and functionality that PwC*STARS includes.
