The goal is to use packaging, engineering, material handling and logistics experience to increase the speed and effectiveness of your implementation. The Engineering Services team can provide a variety of services that add value to your program. >> Needs assessment >> Cost-benefit analysis >> Right-sizing studies >> Inbound/outbound freight analysis >> Packaging standards development >> Work station analysis >> Material flow analysis Rely on ORBIS’ industry experts to create a product and service program to add system-wide efficiency. In their analysis, they review the following drivers to fully understand what impacts your implementation: >> Marketplace trends >> Supply chain complexities >> Regulatory issues >> Supplier relationships >> Customer requirements >> Labor practices >> Transportation standards >> Cleanliness requirements >> Import/export requirements >> Product life cycles With this understanding, ORBIS is able to recommend, design and implement an effective packaging solution for sustained cost savings. Step 1: ANALYZE The optimization process begins with a careful analysis to identify the product flow, determine the application and prioritize the packaging objectives (protection, improved transportation efficiencies, etc.) Step 2: PROVE Before a reusable packaging program decision can be made, it is important to demonstrate and prove how the packaging and related services translate into measurable efficiencies. The potential return on investment is calculated using metrics like time savings, cost reductions, safety, cleanliness or warehouse utilization. Step 3: DESIGN Upon approval, we start planning and designing the program. To meet the needs of your entire operation, we help you choose from our standard products or develop customized solutions, if necessary. In either case, the objective is to optimize your supply chain whenever and wherever we can. To further validate the solution, pilot programs can be conducted. Step 4: IMPLEMENT Once the plan is complete, the ORBIS products (hand-held containers, bulk containers, plastic pallets, sheets and dunnage) are delivered and seamlessly integrated into your system. ORBIS can oversee the entire implementation to ensure long term success. (training, automated equipment interface, etc.) Step 5: EVOLVE Supply chain systems are dynamic and the packaging programs that support them must evolve with them. New product launches, quality improvements, changing production processes and new labor practices may require new and innovative reusable packaging. On an ongoing basis, we’ll work with you to incorporate these innovations to sustain your long term productivity and profitability. Using our proven approach, ORBIS integrates all aspects of planning to deliver a seamless implementation that meets your financial and operational objectives: IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES ORBIS helps world-class customers move their product faster, safer and more cost-effectively.
