Case Study: The Dow Chemical Company achieves $165M in savings and nearly 100% planning efficiency gain with Logility

The Dow Chemical Company Improves Production Planning

The Dow Chemical Company, a global leader in plastics, chemicals, hydrocarbons and agrochemicals that manufactures over 3,000 products, faced significant changeover, production and additive constraints across its plants. Dow needed better cross-plant visibility to reduce inventory, cut the amount of off‑grade product and boost planning and production efficiency.

Logility implemented a planning solution that centralized planning at two sites, nearly doubled planning efficiency (75% of gains realized immediately), and improved visibility between plants. Results included a 10% inventory reduction in gas‑phased polyethylene (about $45M annual savings), a 50% cut in planning manpower, a 2% reduction in off‑grade material (about $120M saved), and the ability to expand into new markets.
