This Think Tank dis­cus­sion will focus on how an Indus­try Busi­ness Net­work (IBN) enables you to col­lab­o­rate with all (trad­ing) part­ners in your sup­ply chain, includ­ing: sup­pli­ers, R&D part­ners, logis­tics and ser­vice providers, asset oper­a­tors, main­te­nance con­trac­tors, and more. We will also dis­cuss how chem­i­cal indus­try com­pa­nies gain unpar­al­leled vis­i­bil­i­ty across all process­es in your sup­ply chain and build resilien­cy into your busi­ness. A chem­i­cal indus­try com­pa­ny can part­ner with oth­er indus­tries such as auto­mo­tive, paint and coat­ings, agriculture/​fertilizer/​herbicides, aero­space and defense, etc. 

This ses­sion occurs on Tues­day, April 19 at 1 p.m. ET/12 p.m. CT, and will enable you to: 

• Under­stand the impor­tance of an IBN to a chem­i­cal indus­try company 
• Col­lab­o­rate in real time and gain broad visibility 
• See your trad­ing part­ners’ inven­to­ry and capac­i­ty so you can opti­mize your sup­ply chain oper­a­tions and avoid delays or interruptions 
• Use indus­try bench­mark KPIs to ana­lyze your business’s per­for­mance and antic­i­pate sup­ply chain issues before it can affect your customers
