Cost Out, Quality & Yield
The optimization of packaging processes involves a comprehensive strategy aimed at minimizing costs, enhancing product quality, and improving overall yield by optimizing changeovers, reducing defects, improving yield, reducing external rejects, reducing reclaim/regrind, and reducing energy consumption.
Asset Utilization
Enhancing packaging asset utilization involves a strategic focus on boosting internal capacity. This is achieved by implementing improved scheduling logic, optimizing Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), increasing internal capacity through improved scheduling logic, and reducing changeovers and make-ready; maintenance excellence.
Digital Manufacturing / Automation Adoption
Embracing digital manufacturing and automation is key to staying competitive. This involves building digital transformation roadmaps, vetting and selecting technology/automation, and implementing and managing pilot projects.
Supply Chain Management
Understand the cost to serve, implement resiliency measures, robust S&OP process, risk analysis, network analysis, facility planning, and relocation.
Human Capital Management
Building robust internal talent management programs is essential to nurture and retain skilled employees by assessing existing resources, developing leaders within the organization, and strategically embedding resources to support key initiatives. Improvements in recruitment and retention strategies contribute to building a strong and capable workforce.
Supporting the Growth Agenda
Create capacity for new products by optimizing existing processes and infrastructure to accommodate innovations. Improving process capability for new product development ensures a seamless integration of new offerings into the market. Furthermore, providing operational support for acquisitions is crucial for successful integration and scaling of business operations.
Management System
Creating and aligning Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure and track essential metrics, and goal deployment strategies to ensure that organizational objectives are cascaded throughout all levels. Focus on problem-solving methodologies contributes to continuous improvement. Sustainment efforts are crucial for maintaining the effectiveness of implemented systems over the long term
High volume, low margin operation saves almost $1 million with a 30% improvement in productivity in just over six months.
