Manage support utilities
How manage support utilities are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 20% of Manage support utilities is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: With zero child occupations seeded to roll up, the digital scalar relies entirely on the top-level process category lens ('Manage support utilities') and its 'Petroleum Refineries' industry anchor. Managing utilities in a heavy industrial setting fundamentally involves the hands-on operation and maintenance of physical asset systems, firmly placing this work in the physical band.

Manage support utilities sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Manage support utilities inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: Refinery production schedules are published or real-time sensors detect a change in process unit demand for support resources like water, steam, or power.
- Forecast utility demand based on upcoming refinery production schedules
- Generate or procure required utilities including steam, electricity, cooling water, and instrument air
- Distribute utilities to process units through internal pipeline and electrical networks
- Monitor system pressures, temperatures, and consumption rates across the facility
- Adjust utility generation output to accommodate real-time fluctuations in refinery demand
- Manage condensate return and route utility waste to treatment facilities
Outcome: Support utilities are reliably delivered to refinery process units within strict pressure, temperature, and volume tolerances without interrupting production.
