Seldom, if ever, has there been such extreme pressure on the American Manufacturing sector. Rising costs, shrinking markets, and the financial crisis have put tremendous pressure of efficiency and productivity. Shorr Packaging can aid you in making the prudent equipment investment with the proper product choice.

Mini Case Study

Situation:
$500 million dollar, construction products manufacturer, (30 manufacturing sites) wanted to consolidate, standardize, and monitor usage of all its packaging consumables.

Solution:
Shorr Packaging conducted a packaging evaluation focusing on applications and current consumption rates at their largest 10 sites.

Shorr recommended a product portfolio that reduced sku’s and allowed greater flexibility in the packaging operation. Its personnel traveled to the top 10 company sites in order to introduce new packaging materials. Shorr Packaging continues to supply the manufacturer with monthly usage and purchase reports for each site.

Results:
The sku reduction allowed the manufacturer to reduce and create greater flexibility within individual site inventories. The management reporting tools allowed headquarters to monitor remote purchasing compliance with corporate contracts.
