Case Study: Chemical Manufacturing Company achieves lower SLA violations and reduced costs with River Logic

How a Chemical Manufacturer Cut Costs While Meeting 99% SLAs

Chemical Manufacturing Company, a global provider of carbon black additives, needed to optimize inventory carry-forward by SKU, location, and time period while meeting customer SLAs amid seasonal demand, a complex distribution network, and multiple production and subcontracting constraints. River Logic helped the company address this challenge using an inventory optimization solution.

River Logic implemented an integrated supply chain optimization model with what-if scenario analysis to balance safety stock, shipping, transit, and capacity constraints over a 12-month horizon. The result was fewer than 2% annual SLA violations, a 10% reduction in operating cost, and an 8% reduction in working capital.
