Last several years, a number of mainstream mass media often reported several recurring refinery unplanned shutdown in Indonesia, one of which is Kasim refinery. As a result, the disruption of fuel production was unavoidable. This particular study aims at finding qualitative correlation between the prior working performance and the current performance of a refinery. In general, unplanned shutdown should be explained as to the optimized refinery utilization occurred in Indonesia. The study also compares the result of the result with that of the previous study by Matthew Cheses. The method being applied in this study is qualitative approach using a non-linear multivariable regression. As the result, a non-linear multivariable regression that incorporates multivariable in an effort to help discover the presumably overlooked information of the past performance as means of management control and to monitor the current refinery utilization performance. In the end, recommendation for improvement as far as the refinery utilization can possibly be achieved in the near future. The conclusion of this particular study is the recommendation for refinery decision maker to improve the scheduling of refinery turnaround and optimize the utilization as well within the recommended range of refinery operation.
