Petrochemicals

In petrochemicals, decision-making often relies on comparing planned performance with actual outcomes. Such comparisons are frequently distorted by manual adjustments and post-hoc explanations.

The capability demonstrated here focuses on systematic modelling of plant- or site-level business plans, enabling direct comparison of planned versus actual performance on a consistent analytical basis.

Key elements include:

Structured representation of operating assumptions

Cost, margin, and throughput drivers

Granular drill-downs across products, units, and time

By embedding assumptions directly into the analytical framework, the comparison of actual outcomes with plan becomes transparent and methodologically consistent.

This capability is inherently client-specific and is intended to illustrate the underlying analytical approach rather than a generic off-the-shelf solution.

Illustrative explorations

Selected analytical explorations may be added over time to illustrate the application of this framework under representative assumptions.
