Here's how we keep our customer's on track, all the time: ### **STEP ONE: UNDERSTAND YOUR TIMELINE**  ![TIMELINE.jpg](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/TIMELINE.jpg?width=499&name=TIMELINE.jpg) We want to fully understand your unique project requirements so we can meet each deadline, and fully prepare our team for a hassle-free project execution. ### **Step Two: Understand Your Final Product** ![box_for_videos.png](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/box_for_videos.png?width=320&name=box_for_videos.png) We want to understand exactly what goes into your final product, whether its [multiple products in one package](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/multi-packs-and-variety-packs), or a [retail display](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/increased-retail-visibility) that holds a promotional or seasonal item. We make sure that we hold your suppliers accountable to get us your products in the timely manner that we have all agreed upon. ### **Step Three: Develop A Timeline That Matches Yours** ![TIMELINE_for_vid.jpg](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/TIMELINE_for_vid.jpg?width=500&name=TIMELINE_for_vid.jpg) We create a timeline that aligns with yours, start to finish, including the date that your product can be shopped from by end-users. ### **Step Four: Production Schedule** ![PRODUCTION_PLAN.jpg](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/PRODUCTION_PLAN.jpg?width=320&name=PRODUCTION_PLAN.jpg) We create a full production schedule to make sure than on our last day of production, the products get on the trucks and off to the stores [when you need it to](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/sense-of-urgency).  ### **Step Five: Delivery Schedule** ![Delivery_Truck_Button.jpg](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/Delivery_Truck_Button.jpg?width=320&name=Delivery_Truck_Button.jpg) We set up delivery appointments with the common carriers as well as the end-user, to make sure that [transportation](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/3pl-and-secondary-packaging) doesn't impact your in-store dates.  ### **Step Six: Coordinate Receiving** ![recieving_around_world_pic.jpg](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/recieving_around_world_pic.jpg?width=320&name=recieving_around_world_pic.jpg) We coordinate all receiving. We coordinate with your receiver to make sure they are anticipating loads to come in on time.  ### **Step Seven: Quality Control** ![Quality_control_icon_GUY.jpg](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/Quality_control_icon_GUY.jpg?width=320&name=Quality_control_icon_GUY.jpg) We get our quality team involved early and often. We want to understand what is important to you, because what is important to you is important to your customer. We want to reflect what you want [in the market](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/3-smart-steps-to-gaining-speed-to-market). ### **Step Eight: Execution** ![EXECUTION_DART_BULLSEYE.jpg](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/EXECUTION_DART_BULLSEYE.jpg?width=320&name=EXECUTION_DART_BULLSEYE.jpg) Simply stated, we execute the plan and get your [products on shelves](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/shelf-optimization) or in-stores when you want it, how you want it.    *If you don't work with a supply chain provider that follows steps like these, get in touch with us today! * *[![I Want To Outsource My Next Project](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/386184/824e1c63-878f-4723-812b-c544a85a3e0c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/386184/824e1c63-878f-4723-812b-c544a85a3e0c)* ### About Jarrod Dizazzo, President Vice President at Industrial Packaging I believe that the strength of one is shown by looking at those around them. We've got a wonderful team in SCS and coming to work for IP is a joy every day. When not in the plant, you can find me fishing, hiking, or being goofy around the house with my 2 daughters and my wife. - **Connect with Jarrod Dizazzo, President** - [**](http://www.facebook.com/industrialpackagingma) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarroddizazzo) - [**](http://www.twitter.com/industrialpkg) - [**](mailto:Jarrod.Dizazzo@industrialpackaging.com) - [**](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/video-blog-8-step-supply-chain) - [**](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Video+Blog%3A+8+Steps+To+A+Successful+Supply+Chain+Project&url=https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/video-blog-8-step-supply-chain&via=) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?url=https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/video-blog-8-step-supply-chain&title=Video+Blog%3A+8+Steps+To+A+Successful+Supply+Chain+Project&summary=We+follow+8+simple+steps+when+executing+a+Supply+Chain+project.+We+start+by+reverse-engineering+the+process+from+your+timeline%2C+to+retail+delivery.) - [**](mailto:?body=https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/video-blog-8-step-supply-chain) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Jarrod Dizazzo, President", "url" : "https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/author/jarrod-dizazzo" }, "dateModified" : "2025-10-17T12:05:44.497Z", "datePublished" : "2016-06-06T13:00:00.000Z", "headline" : "Video Blog: 8 Steps To A Successful Supply Chain Project", "image" : [ "//www.industrialpackaging.com/hubfs/Blogging_Images/2016_BLOGGING/PRODUCTION_PLAN.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/video-blog-8-step-supply-chain", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.industrialpackaging.com/hubfs/INDUSTRIAL%20PACKAGING%20LOGO%202016.png" }, "name" : "Industrial Packaging" } } ```
