Mr. Kaweski began his career as a management consultant in 1992 with Clayton, Sparks and Associates and later Vemax Management. Early work included commodity investment strategies, maintenance optimization systems, Bayesian statistical software, decision analysis of maintenance of natural gas pipelines, and other management science applications. In 1996, Mr. Kaweski was asked to write a handbook on Bayesian statistical methods by the Canadian Strategic Highways Research Program and this was published in 1997. Beginning in 1997, he has focused exclusively on energy economics analysis. In 1997 Mr. Kaweski joined MarketPoint to complete the paper design of the MarketBuilder software and to implement the software product and attendant software capabilities. This initial collaboration grew and Mr. Kaweski is now a principal of the company.
Mr. Kaweski has been pivotal to the development of both the methodology of application and core technology of refinery optimization. MarketPoint is the only system available that can do simultaneous, non-linear, individual refinery optimization embedded in a general equilibrium framework among all refineries in the country including all supply chains from resource to final market. The refinery system was developed in collaboration with a major industry client and simultaneously analyzes the economics of individual crude types and multiple refined products. The system permits analysis of expansion of individual components of the refinery such as coking capacity, something that is also a MarketPoint exclusive. There is no comparable or parallel system available anywhere in the world.
Doug has worked with all MarketPoint models and has done consulting work and training for all models in the MarketPoint energy suite. This includes gas transmission, gas storage, electricity, petroleum refining, LNG, oil and hydrocarbon resource models. He has also worked in the development of MarketPoint technology including mathematics, programming of the core product and programming of ancillary products.
Mr. Kaweski holds a B.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering received with distinction from the University of Saskatchewan.

"A major breakthrough in predicting pavement and other asset performance. Bayesian methods combine judgment with data, extracting the best of both and focusing it on the problem. Development and application of BSTAT has been one of C-SHRP's more successful programs."
