Case Study: BASF Care Chemicals optimizes volume planning with Board

BASF streamlines planning for 3,000 products across 30 sites with Board

BASF Care Chemicals, a division of the global chemical supplier BASF, faced significant complexity in its volume planning. Managing nearly 3,000 products across 30 production sites with multi-stage production and global supply chains led to capacity bottlenecks and revealed the limitations of its Excel-based processes. To address this, the company implemented the Board Enterprise Planning Platform from vendor Board to streamline its capacity-based volume planning.

Using Board's platform, BASF automated core calculations, resolved complex bill of material issues, and identified production bottlenecks. The solution provided a single source of truth, consolidating data from disparate systems to increase transparency and accelerate planning. This resulted in faster processes, improved decision-making, and a more reliable foundation for financial planning, ultimately fostering a culture of efficiency, agility, and informed decision-making for sustainable growth.
