Job Description:

 Optimize Supply Chain (OSC), previously known as Global Supply Excellence (GSE), is part of the Downstream-One Streamline program, which strives to reduce cost and complexity of the downstream supply chain management in order to increase the profitability and efficiency of supply and distribution processes. This is done through globally standardizing the Value Chain Optimization (VCO) and Refineries Margin Optimization (RMO) processes, by fine tuning the planning, scheduling and accounting of hydrocarbon transactions in downstream business.
The Global RPS 1.3 Project was planned as a global project launched since March 2011 in an effort to upgrade the current version of AspenTech (AT) 2006.5 software suite to the latest version of AT 7.3.0.2. AT 2006.5 is a set of applications which are part of the RPS software suite that resides under the RMO scope. The upgrade to the latest version of AT 7.3.0.2 includes the deployment of the Aspen PIMS, Aspen Petroleum Scheduler (APS, previously known as ORION), Aspen Refinery Multi-Blend Optimizer (MBO) applications that are used for refinery planning, refinery scheduling and blend optimization respectively and Aspen Report Writer.
Alongside with the upgrade to AT 7.3.0.2, there will be a few other work streams which need to run concurrently due to the changes that might be impacted;
• Associated add-ons which are directly impacted by the application upgrades
• GLIMS interface enhancement
• Interface Error Handling Enhancements (Data Load Process Improvement)
• RPS Web UI enhancement
• AspenTech Report Writing
The project follows PDF Standards. Key project activities include Scoping, Estimation, Requirements Gathering, Design, Build (non-AT specific enhancements), Central End-to-End Testing, Pilot Deployments, Regional Deployments (including site specific UAT and cutover) and Closeout.
