In recent years, the market competition in the chemical industry has become increasingly fierce, requiring good quality, fast delivery, and excellent prices. In addition, the chemical industry is affected by upstream and downstream business volume fluctuations. For example, the recent rise in international energy prices and high shipping prices have put pressure on the cost control of chemical enterprises; on the other hand, affected by the international local situation, the prices of some chemical products (such as fertilizers) have soared and the market demand is changing rapidly. Chemical enterprises need to keep abreast of changes in end-use demand for products and quickly adjust their business. Specifically, the current challenges facing chemical companies are as follows:

In recent years, the market competition in the chemical industry has become increasingly fierce, requiring good quality, fast delivery, and excellent prices. In addition, the chemical industry is affected by upstream and downstream business volume fluctuations. For example, the recent rise in international energy prices and high shipping prices have put pressure on the cost control of chemical enterprises; on the other hand, affected by the international local situation, the prices of some chemical products (such as fertilizers) have soared and the market demand is changing rapidly. Chemical enterprises need to keep abreast of changes in end-use demand for products and quickly adjust their business. Specifically, the current challenges facing chemical companies are as follows:
Pre-supply, complex types of chemical raw materials, large fluctuations in bulk futures prices, diverse material demand and supply batch constraints, complex distribution methods, large differences in demand for different production lines, and difficult overall planning of enterprise procurement and supply;
Mid-stage production, continuous production, production capacity is expected to be full, but there are fluctuations in demand, superimposed environmental protection policies, power restrictions and on-site logistics and other factors, how to match market demand, reasonable allocation of production capacity, the production of the right types of products to achieve revenue;
In the latter part of the sales, the information flow flows in one direction, the information between departments lacks sharing and coordination, the plans of various departments are fragmented, and the overall operation situation cannot be seen. How to use existing resources and achieve excellent results in a short time to improve income and support growth.
These challenges put forward higher requirements for the quality of business decision-making in all aspects of the overall situation, such as production resource allocation, production scheduling tracking, process refinement management, marketing system and production and marketing coordination of chemical enterprises. The traditional business decision-making method based on business rules and experience can no longer meet the needs of enterprises, and a more intelligent decision-making mechanism is urgently needed.
