In many industrial companies in Switzerland, the topic of packaging is often still significantly underestimated.
Packaging procurement is one of the central pillars for the smooth running of production and delivery. An efficient packaging strategy can be a decisive factor in reducing costs and optimizing processes.
In this article, we highlight the five biggest challenges in packaging procurement and show you how you can successfully solve them - with our support.
Inefficient packaging processes often lead to high labor and material costs. Many industrial companies often struggle with outdated technologies that are not adapted to current requirements.
Solution: A thorough process analysis by our experts will help you to quickly identify inefficiencies in your packaging process. By choosing the right packaging and optimizing the individual packaging steps, considerable savings can be achieved.
Advantage: More efficient workflows and optimized material usage reduce your process costs in the long term, even if you initially see the packaging process as less relevant compared to the production of your A-products. Industrial companies also benefit from faster throughput times and higher productivity.
Many companies do not have specialized employees or a department for packaging procurement. The tasks are spread across many departments or even several locations. This results in inefficient processes, which can lead to increased costs and suboptimal packaging solutions.
Solution: Organize the procurement of packaging material via a central point in the company. You can also take advantage of external advice and process optimization from our packaging experts at PRODINGER Verpackung AG. These consultations are even free of charge.
