Case Study: ELIX Polymers maximizes EBITDA with real-time S&OP analytics using AIMMS S&OP Navigator

ELIX Polymers maximizes EBITDA with real-time analytics for S&OP

ELIX Polymers, a 40‑year specialist in ABS and high‑quality thermoplastics based in Tarragona and serving 300+ clients across 40+ countries, faced industry consolidation, rising competition and raw‑material price volatility. To create a high‑maturity control tower and improve S&OP decision‑making, the company needed technology to increase supply‑chain visibility and enable fast, scenario‑based planning that would help maximize EBITDA.

ELIX implemented AIMMS S&OP Navigator rapidly (first workshop in May 2016, live by September), using it to run real‑time risk assessments, demand‑driven scenario evaluations and optimization against targets and constraints. The platform integrated S&OP on a single system, allowed management to simulate impacts and choose the best actions within an hour (versus ~24 hours previously), and delivered faster scenario generation, improved visibility and better EBITDA‑focused decisions.
