Network Model for Maximizing Results Across the Fuel Supply Chain

CLIENT

• An energy company controlled by an international investment manager, offering more than 31 products.

• Its main asset is a large refinery located in Northeast Brazil, in operation for more than 70 years, with capacity to process more than 300 thousand barrels of crude oil per day, representing 14% of Brazil's total refining capacity.

CHALLENGES

• Upon taking control of one of Brazil's largest refineries, the company began requiring a more robust tool to assess the sensitivity of its catchment area and support decisions on pricing, production, and investments.

• Given the multiple factors that impact competitiveness and demand, an integrated model is needed, capable of analyzing these variables simultaneously, while respecting operational capacities and constraints.

OUR APPROACH

• Development of an optimization model customized in AIMMS® software, representing current and alternative logistics flows at the national level.

• Team training, enabling its integration into the strategic routine to support decision-making related to production, product pricing, and infrastructure investment evaluation.

• Execution of continuous improvement routines, focused on increasing profitability and operational efficiency.

RESULTS

• The model has been in use for more than four years, supporting strategic decision-making in the management of an asset that has received more than R$ 3 billion in investments since 2021.

• Recognition of Leggio's technical expertise, followed by its engagement to develop the Logistics and Infrastructure Master Plan, reinforcing confidence in the group's ability to address strategic challenges.
