See the big picture to plan ahead!
Dear ,
“How to stay competitive in a disrupted, unpredictable and digitalized world” is a burning question for packaging and label printers. With this in mind, Jannes Slomp and Wilfred Knol from HAN University join us again, to discuss emerging supply chain trends - and strategies for responding to them.
Certainly, the pandemic has made value chain players reassess ‘old certainties’ about production models. Is ‘just-in-time’ still relevant today? Knol reminds us that optimum flow is what matters in Lean – not ‘no stocks’ but enough to continue production.
This links with another hot topic of our times – staying agile and responding fast to customer needs. Ink manufacturers supported printers in this aim by reformulating their inks, mitigating for scarce raw materials.
Modular machine design: agile and sustainable!
Modularity in machine design answers both the need for agility and sustainable product life cycle management – which as Slomp explains, is also part of the Lean tool box. The latest modular designed dispensing systems also help here, enabling the printer to swiftly adapt to changes in the ink room - without waste or great expense.
For further guidance on optimizing your ink processes, contact us at info@gsedispensing.com or telephone +31 575 568 080.
We wish you profitable reading and planning!
