Supply chain management helped companies to manage volumes,
fulfil customer demand and optimize costs in production and
distribution. Specifically, chemical industry companies with high
complexity in production and distribution used supply chain
management to steer their operations. Confronted with globalization
and increasing raw material and sales price volatility, optimizing
supply chain costs is no longer sufficient to ensure the overall
profitability of the business. Value chain management takes supply
chain management to the next level by integrating all volume and
value decisions from sales to procurement. The book presents the
value chain management concept and demonstrates how it is applied
in a global value chain planning model for commodities in the
chemical industry. A comprehensive industry case study illustrates
the effects of decision making integration, e.g. the influence of
raw material prices or exchange rates on optimal sales, production,
distribution and procurement plans as well as overall company
profitability.
