Standard IoPP Webinar
Did you know the cost of downtime in a typical product manufacturer’s plant is about $10,000 per hour? If your package development team’s new designs are cast in concrete without input from operations, chances are you’re contributing to that figure. The machinability of packaging is a crucial aspect of package development that packaging engineers MUST consider. If you don’t, you risk the possibility of a package design that doesn’t perform well in operations. That could lead to a number of very costly scenarios, including: the need to modify or purchase new machines to run your package, unintended packaging line downtown for changeovers, packages that orient poorly on production lines and even the need for a new package design. This presentation will help you understand how and why, and what to do about it.
