A system processes historical facility data that relate to facility states and modes of operation. The historical facility data are clustered into groups representing the facility states and the modes of operation. The groups are used to determine a current state and mode of the facility. When the facility is in a normal state, the system determines whether an event in the facility is an abnormality. If an abnormality is identified, the system transmits a signal indicating the abnormality.

Current plant data is imported into the system, and dynamic optimization data representing trends in process data at time-varied values for key process and operation parameters are identified. The current plant data and projected plant data is processed using mathematical modeling techniques to identify event boundaries, stream flowrates associated with tanks and process units. The system builds an optimization model applying identified event boundaries, stream flowrates, dynamic optimization data, key scheduling parameters and pre-determined constraints along a period of time that includes priority slots to reconcile the projected plant data of the initial schedule with the current plant data, and then solves the optimization model to develop a reconciled schedule.
