The ingredients to digitally transform your business
The chemical manufacturing industry extends into every facet of our lives. To succeed, you must introduce new products quickly to meet changing customer needs and beat competitive pressures. You also need to speed up your response to compliance requirements and other constantly changing regulations.
Manage a global supply chain
The supply chain management features in Infor Chemical can help you to handle your capacity and supply chain constraints, while managing multiple plants and distribution centers. You can use Infor Chemical's sophisticated supply chain planning capabilities, including daily and seasonal forecasting, replenishment planning, inventory optimization, and promotional planning, to optimize your manufacturing and distribution.
Expedite regulatory and customer compliance
Governmental regulations can be particularly complex, costly to implement, and significantly different from region to region. At the same time, environmental concerns place a greater emphasis on recyclability, toxicity, and energy efficiency. This can affect the production and end-use of your products. Infor Chemical helps you quickly meet changing compliance standards to keep up with government and environmental regulations. You will even be able to perform lot/sub-lot track and trace throughout the supply chain for quick recall.
Plan for fluctuations in raw materials, production, and shipping
With Infor Chemical’s material planning tools, manufacturers accurately calculate raw material requirements to guide your buyers on how much of a specific raw material needs to be purchased, as well as the date when the purchase should be made. The automatic generation of raw material requirements - based on the demand plan - provides a clear purchase requirement plan, easing communication with suppliers and allowing your buyers to focus their time on obtaining the best price to meet demand.
Optimize your formulas
Success in this market depends on your ability to introduce a steady stream of new products to meet changing customer requirements and consumer trends. When you have hundreds of customized formulas in your product portfolio, you can’t rely on spreadsheets to manage them without running the risk of introducing errors. With Infor Chemical's sophisticated product lifecycle management (PLM) tools, you can help ensure raw material compliance, respond to customer demands, compensate for current raw material availability, and meet new specifications at optimal costs.
