Why it mattered

In energy, days convert directly into money. Interconnection dates, outage windows and tax-credit deadlines leave very little room for surprises.

The challenge

A refinery planned a major maintenance outage on its crude unit, with thousands of activities inside a forty-two-day window.

Each day offline meant lost throughput, so every hour of planning precision paid for itself.
