How to Make Your Supply Chain More Resilient: An LNG Case Study

Integrated Supply Chain Modeling is a recent development in reliability simulation. An extension of traditional Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) modeling, Integrated Supply Chain Modeling is being used with increasing frequency in the LNG industry to assist in concept selection during design, to quantify reliability and security of supply and assure overall project performance. This presentation outlines the concept of an integrated supply chain model and discusses the benefits of this new approach to reliability modeling and simulation. Optimise LNG©, a supply chain simulation tool, has been developed by IRC in Australia and has been used on many of the major LNG projects currently being conducted in Australia. Using the LNG industry as a focus, a number of case studies using Optimise LNG© are presented and discussed to illustrate the applications and highlight the benefits of the integrated supply chain approach.
