Why Shipment Planning Should Be Simulated?Shipment planning involves far more than creating schedules in Excel or ERP systems. This article explains why refinery shipment plans must be validated against real operational constraints—including production variability, tank farm capacity, inventory dynamics, and loading infrastructure. It demonstrates how a Digital Twin transforms shipment planning from a static business process into executable refinery operations through dynamic simulation.
