From Reactive to Resilient: Chemical Supply Chain Webinar

From Reactive to Resilient: Navigating Crude Price Volatility with SAP IBP

Join YASH Technologies' supply chain experts for a live session on how petrochemical and chemical enterprises are protecting downstream margins, optimizing feedstock decisions, and de-risking inventory in volatile markets with live demonstrations of SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain (SAP IBP), digital twins, and what-if scenario analysis.

Crude price volatility is reshaping profitability across the chemical value chain
Crude oil and feedstock prices remain among the most unpredictable variables in the petrochemical and chemical industries. When raw material costs are set by global markets while polymer, polyesters & specialty characters selling prices are committed under contracts, even well-run organizations can see profitable products slip into negative contribution within a single planning cycle. In our conversations with supply chain leaders across the industry, four challenges come up consistently.

Why Attend

Margin squeeze

Volatile feedstock costs against fixed contract prices erode contribution margins before planners can respond.

Cracker inefficiencies

Asset under-utilization and reactive campaign planning leave value unrealized across the crack spread.

Inventory imbalances

Stock positions overcorrect with every price movement: excess virgin monomer one month, shortages the next.

Siloed decision-making

Commercial, financial, and upstream data sit in separate systems, so no one sees the complete profitability picture before volumes are committed.

That is why YASH Technologies is bringing together its supply chain planning experts for this session to demonstrate how leading petrochemical and chemical organizations are using SAP IBP, digital twin technology, and what-if scenario analysis to plan with confidence in uncertain markets.

Understanding the Value Chain
A typical petrochemical planner manages thousands of polymer grades across thousands of customers, alongside virgin monomers sold directly into the market, all built on a raw material whose price is determined globally. Evaluating these positions against multiple crude price scenarios, in the first days of every planning cycle, is precisely the problem SAP IBP scenario planning was designed to solve.

What you will learn

In this webinar, our experts will provide a comprehensive overview of scenario planning for volatile feedstock markets and offer actionable insights to help your business:

Navigate crude price volatility with confidence. Learn how what-if scenario analysis in SAP IBP enables planners to evaluate crude price scenarios against sales orders and forecasts, identify products with negative contribution early, and protect margins across the portfolio.
Learn from chemical industry leaders worldwide. Discover how chemical and petrochemical organizations around the world are leveraging YASH and SAP IBP to navigate market uncertainty, from integrated majors to specialty producers.
Build a future ready master data foundation. Understand how to improve the quality of your SAP master data — whether you run SAP ECC, are migrating to SAP Cloud ERP, or are already live, to make your organization ready for the next level of business transformation.
Infuse AI and ML into supply chain planning. Explore the YASH and SAP AI/ML capabilities that can be infused into SAP IBP and digital twin models to make your supply chain smarter and more responsive.

The session includes live demonstrations covering margin protection, feedstock optimization, and inventory de-risking.

Every successful transformation begins with trusted data

Data is the new oil, and that is why understanding your business challenges in the context of the data you run on today, at whatever point you are in your SAP transformation journey, SAP ECC, migrating to SAP Cloud ERP, or already live on Cloud ERP. Unless data quality is fit for purpose, no planning scenario, digital twin, or AI model can deliver results your organization can act on with confidence. Our experts will walk through a structured approach to get there.
