WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS
Margins are tightening. Supply chains are fragile. ESG and regulatory pressures keep mounting. For energy and chemical companies, the ability to unlock value from SAP is no longer optional it’s mission critical.
Too often, SAP is treated as a back-office system instead of what it truly can be: a nerve center for operational agility and profit creation. This executive roundtable brings together senior leaders in operations, supply chain, and manufacturing to cut through theory and share what really works.
Instead of abstract frameworks, examine real-world stories of how peers, including companies like CITGO Lubricants and Huntsman Chemical re-engineered their SAP footprint to deliver measurable results.
Discussion highlights will include:
- Where “value leaks” hide in energy & chemical value chains: spare parts, sourcing inefficiencies, manual exceptions, and inflated safety stock.
- How to shift from reactive workarounds to exception-based planning making SAP your daily decision-support engine.
- Tactical levers vs. strategic pivots: the SAP settings, master-data governance, and planning protocols that deliver outsized ROI.
- Sustaining the gains: embedding behavioral change, governance, and KPI discipline so improvements stick.
- Lessons across upstream, midstream, refining, lubricants, and specialty chemicals.
We’ll punctuate the discussion with short micro-case snapshots such as CITGO’s $22M inventory reduction and Huntsman’s 60% drop in overdue demand to ground the dialogue in tangible outcomes. A sharper lens to spot SAP value gaps in your operations, plus peer-tested levers you can bring back to your business tomorrow.
If your SAP instance feels under-leveraged or yields unpredictable ROI, this roundtable will help you reframe it from a cost center into a “profit generator.”
