Abstract

This paper proposes to apply Strategic Engineering to Digitalization of a large company operating in big EPC Projects (Engineering, Procurement and Con) with special attention to Oil & Gas; an overview about criticalities and potential alternatives to overpass major shortfalls is proposed as well as an architecture based on AI, Modelling and Simulation to deal with this sector.
