Case Study: Bakelite Synthetics improves S&OP and reduces working capital with Arkieva

Bakelite Synthetics reduces working capital by $37 million with Arkieva

Bakelite Synthetics, a leader in thermoset specialty resins, faced challenges with data visibility and responsiveness across its global operations due to legacy systems. This made effective demand and capacity planning difficult. To address this, Bakelite partnered with vendor Arkieva to implement its advanced demand planning and global supply planning tools.

By using Arkieva's integrated planning platform, Bakelite became more nimble and responsive to market changes. The solution delivered significant operational improvements, including a $37 million reduction in working capital and an automated, easier monthly S&OP cycle for the company.
