Case Study: Shell increases profit margins and standardizes its global supply chain with Aspen Technology's aspenONE

Shell Adopts Global Supply Chain Process to Increase Profitability and Drive an “Enterprise First” Strategy

Shell, the global energy and petrochemical company, faced fragmented, siloed supply chain processes across many refineries that reduced flexibility and lowered margins. To support its Enterprise First program and standardize business and technology practices, Shell adopted Aspen Technology’s aspenONE supply chain solutions, including aspenONE Planning & Scheduling and aspenONE Supply & Distribution.

Aspen Technology implemented aspenONE components (including Aspen PIMS, Aspen Petroleum Scheduler, Aspen Collaborative Demand Manager and Aspen Petroleum Supply Chain Planner) to standardize planning, optimize feedstock and refinery scheduling, manage demand and minimize distribution costs. As a result, Shell improved operational performance, responded faster to market opportunities and increased profit margins throughout the petroleum value chain.
