Refinery improvement from Solomon 4^th to 2^nd Quartile saves $11.5 million

“RLG offered great industry insight to our team and challenged us to view schedule optimization from a new perspective. The meeting organization/facilitation coaching fast tracked me to become an effective leader of core planning teams. RLG helped us achieve a higher level of cooperation between work groups which certainly contributed to the success of our turnaround event.”
