Cost Reduction Ideas

When a line is down due to a part being needed, you incur the double whammy of both wasted labor cost and lost production output.
Have you evaluated your spare parts inventory lately? In doing so, you should consider two categories of parts.

  • Wear items that have to be replaced frequently
  • Parts that are key to equipment operation
  • Parts that are not able to be obtained on a timely basis.

With the right parts in your inventory, you are more likely to return to operation more quickly. Also, by the timely replacements of normal wear items, you will maintain your packaging line at a more efficient level.

COST REDUCTION IDEAS

GET THIN!!!
Do you shrink wrap? Many of our customers have taken advantage of new film technologies to reduce the gauge of their shrink film. There are several advantages to that:

  • Film Cost savings of up to 25%
  • Fewer roll changes thereby reducing equipment downtime
  • Better scores on Walmart's Sustainability Scorecard
  • Reduced waste (fewer cartons and cores to discard)
  • Reduced packaging material inventory space. Thinner gauges yield more
  • "film feet" per pallet
