  • Chemical manufacturing

    Production-site capacity and performance

    Business challenge
    How do capacity alternatives affect production volume, margin, unit cost and lead time across the whole system?
    Business outcome tested
    The model compared capacity scenarios and made the interactions between volume, process flow, cost and performance visible.

    Typical KPIs

    • Production volume
    • Margin and EBIT
    • Lead time
    • Variable unit cost
  • Chemical supply chain

    Inventory and investment decisions with constrained storage

    Business challenge
    How should inventory, push/pull rules and the timing of additional capacity interact when storage is constrained?
    Business outcome tested
    The model compared replenishment, inventory and investment scenarios and showed their effects on stock, utilisation and delivery flow.

    Typical KPIs

    • Inventory and WIP
