CHEMICALS  Innovation 

We optimized multiple global chemical supply chains delivering raw material inventory reductions of 60%, improved supply chain flexibility, and decreased demand volatility by 50%.

We rolled out vendor-managed inventory (VMI) concepts at a large FMCG client. This included the installation of respective physical infrastructure at several production sites, resulting in significant improvement of supplier service levels and end-to-end inventory reductions of 1m USD in working capital.

We elaborated joint business plans between leading FMCG and their supplying chemical companies to refocus the supply chain on customer demand instead of being raw material production led.

We redesigned and automated the chemical tail-end spend activities by outsourcing and the utilization of e-sourcing tools resulting in 20% savings and productivity improvement of 30% for the organization.

We led the sourcing of oil and non-oil based commodity chemical materials from global producers and supply chains all around the world for more than 50 production sites.

We managed key supplier relationships and implemented several joint business plans enabling sustainable innovation and breakthrough ideas for multiple household product categories (i.e. Ariel pods).
