To maximize LNG supply chain efficiency, companies mustrnensure they meet contractual obligations, seize opportunitiesrnfor spot cargoes, minimize operational costs and use all assetsrnas effectively as possible. The challenge of achieving thesernobjectives is complicated because they are inextricably relatedrnand often conflicting. Moreover, when all the factors that canrndisrupt the supply chain are considered—weather, maintenance,rnequipment failures, tidal and darkness restrictions, seasonalrndemand patterns, marketing scenarios and more—it becomesrnalmost impossible to assimilate the overall system. Byrnusing simulation modeling to analyze these factors holistically,rnmanagers can maximize LNG supply chain efficiencyrnand improve profitability.
