Abstract:

This study aims to improve the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s (ADNOC’s) performance in the UAE using industrial engineering methodologies. Statistical Process Control (SPS), Flux Seam, and Arena are methods used in this study to identify operational gaps in ADNOC and suggest ways to increase productivity. Although industrial engineering has proven its effectiveness in various industries, more studies must be conducted on its specific application in the oil and gas industry, particularly at ADNOC. Information is obtained through data collection techniques such as document analysis, interviews, and observation. According to the study, ADNOC’s oil and gas facility operations have significantly improved by applying industrial engineering principles, resource management, process optimization, and quality control.
