Executive Summary

This report is one in a series that explores case studies around the adoption of operational excellence technologies at prominent industrial firms. Saudi Aramco, the Saudi Arabian multinational petroleum and natural gas company, has developed an off-the-shelf integrated Manufacturing Operations Management (iMOM) solution. The iMOM system facilitates integration and analysis of data from multiple IT, OT and engineering systems into a centralized operations intelligence platform. It was recently deployed at the Yanbu crude-oil refinery, located in Saudi Arabia, by the Yanbu Refinery Department (YRD). iMOM helped streamline the refinery’s complex downstream business processes, close automation gaps and enable proactive data-driven decision-making across multiple operations. YRD achieved enhanced employee productivity and tripled its system users, while it expects to save $2 million in operational expenses.
