Serving both specialty and commodity markets, chemicals supply chains are caught between the uncertainties of global demand and the push effects resulting from the various batch, campaign, and continuous or semicontinuous production flows. Assets must be used to their full potential.
Competition is fierce in the consumer goods industry. Margins are tight and product life cycles are getting shorter. Demand is volatile, promotions and product launches must be managed carefully to avoid supply-side turmoil, and DC networks must be balanced.
The life sciences supply chain is in constant flux. Pharmaceutical companies are constantly engaged in making the right products in the right way at the right time. They must orchestrate all operations, from chemical synthesis or biological fermentation to drug product manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.
The inherent complexities of your metals supply chain tend to impact your customer service, increase inventory levels, and raise costs. It is vital to maximize asset utilization, minimize scrap, keep inventory levels low, improve delivery performance, and reduce carbon emissions across your plant network.
Paper and plastic film markets are evolving fast in the digital era, leading to extremely volatile demand and evermore complex manufacturing challenges. Campaigns must be tuned to demand, balancing the mix of operations, optimizing cutting and trimming plans, and reducing the environmental impact.
