OptimisationThe Theory of Global Optimisation (TGO) redefines lean for packaging:

• A successful packaging production operation is a chain of interdependant links

• Bottlenecks dictate the throughput, on time delivery and cost efficiency of the entire operation

• By identifying and removing bottlenecks in production, you can successfully drive profitability and machine efficiency in your manufacturing processes
