Overview:
Chemical companies' financial success is linked heavily to the critical areas that support the bulk of product manufacturing and ultimately take the brunt of margin scrutiny: procurement, manufacturing, and distribution. At the same time, when managers do get the information they need, the application of it in terms of changing processes, reacting to business events, or forecasting performance often breaks down. By improving Business Intelligence (BI) and business performance management practices to these critical control areas, chemical companies can be more responsive with their business decisions, improve margins throughout the supply chain and manufacturing process, and ultimately limit the negative margin impact that external market drivers and internal constraints create.
