Petroleum refining, petrochemical and other manufacturing industries face the challenge to optimise business across multiple systems, teams, and locations.

Production manufacturing across the process industry typically uses heterogeneous data and information from various business systems like ERP, supply chain management, plant information, production planning, scheduling and operations decision support to execute their business processes. In order to maximise efficiency and to minimise cost they require up-to-date information at any time. Those companies all face the challenge to optimise their end-to-end business processes across production units, sites and the entire enterprise.
