• Complexity. Convergence of Primary

& Secondary to “Hybrid” Packaging

production (ship with & sell from)

• Demand for corrugated. Most

sustainable, most recycled process

compared other processes…BUT, costs more to produce

Customers

Brand, Retailers

Suppliers

Cost sensitive business5

• Brand consolidation driving down price

• Resins, Substrates and ink increasing or maintaining cost

• Personalization, ecommerce. Packaging is shorter run and more complex (more SKU), more cost

• Need flexibility to adapt to customer needs without increasing cost

• Planned downtimes are entered to give a realistic view of available capacity Enterprise-wide visibility

• Web based Dynamic Order Promising with ATP (Available to Promise) . Gives best available due date to promise Make promises that you can keep.

• Visibility of order progression.

• Uses calculated setup duration and run rates from historical data to determine overall production duration of each specification/order.

• Proactively Identify areas of concern: Late orders, too much WIP, etc.

• Rule based scheduling engine considers item characteristics and machine constraints.

• Improves plant productivity through optimized job sequencing to reduce setup (make ready)

• Meet fluctuating customer demand by running simulations

• Level load/load balance like machines

• Suggests what orders to corrugate/purchase next to keep all machines running

Improve converting machine capacity utilization

Effective Load Planning, back to front planning

• Orders, scheduled and unscheduled, should be automatically booked on a trailer. • User must be able to review and make modifications to the plan, adding, removing or

resequencing individual loads visually within the trailer. Finished Goods Tracking should sho actual loading information about the trailers, and make decision about further planning

• Active reports allow user to see trailer loading plan, and summary of docked trailers

Effective routing and logistics

• Specifies loading times, locations, sequences, quantities, and the specific locations of orders within each trailer

• Uses cubing algorithm to determine optimum use of available trailers/containers

• Integration with the Google/Bing Maps to facilitates efficient shipment routing

• Real-time display of docked trailers

• Historical reporting of trailer utilization
