Key challenges faced by chemical manufacturers
Unanticipated variations in commodity prices
A decade ago, the energy costs appeared to be on an upward climb. However, recent years have witnessed the emergence of cheaper forms of energy. This would have been a sigh of relief for energy manufacturers if only the benefits of lower energy prices were distributed evenly on a country-by-country basis. This makes it vital for chemical companies to have a robust ERP system that will help them respond to fluctuations in energy prices quickly.
Increased number of recalls and quality audits
A variety of government and other regulatory compliance are often imposed on chemical manufacturers. This makes it essential for them to maintain strict quality management and detailed product information. Chemical manufacturers are also required to capture data from operational processes accurately so that they can be prepared in case of any product recalls. To equip themselves for quality audit, the chemical companies must integrate traceability data across the business and should be made accessible to various stakeholders such as suppliers and customers during the quality audit process.

Cutting down formula costs to create new efficiencies
Factors including seasonality, cost of purchase, and maintenance constraints greatly affect the availability of raw materials for chemical companies.
