Case Study: a leading South American refinery company achieves higher productivity and more accurate accounting with KBC A Yokogawa Company's VM-PA

Refinery Increases Productivity by Improving Business Process Workflows

KBC A Yokogawa Company helped a leading South American refinery modernize its operations while expanding capacity from 90,000 bpd to 120,000 bpd across six remote terminals. The refinery was replacing outdated, poorly integrated accounting systems and moving from partial, monthly accounting to a site-wide daily accounting process aligned with international standards.

KBC A Yokogawa Company implemented Visual MESA Production Accounting (VM-PA) in phases, integrating production accounting with SAP and automating data exchange between systems. The solution centralized approvals on a single screen, validated accounting information, eliminated double work and spreadsheets, improved data accuracy and availability, and increased productivity while reducing errors and manual intervention.
