Simulating impacts of disruption in a network of chemical manufacturing plants and supporting infrastructures

摘要

In our study, we looked at how the impact of disruptions may be modelled in a network of chemical manufacturing plants. Given that the number of plants involved is large, it is not time-feasible to model the operation of each plant in detail. However, after 1st round of quick analysis, we can selectively model the identified critical components in greater detail. Hence, the challenge is to develop a standard template that can capture sufficient information about a plant, to give meaningful result. The standard template can be applied to all plants in our study and also allows a non-technical user to easily represent a new plant and integrate into the existing model.
