We offer the ideal solutions to digitalize the Packaging industry's Supply Chain. And we can prove it.

Parachute orders with tight deadlines and dynamic bottlenecks.

The packaging industry, whether plastic, paper or metal, has demand dynamism and a set of very challenging production constraints. Once scheduled, scenarios can be completely modified due to changes in orders or production, and keeping track of delivery dates while seeking productivity gains is not easy.

Companies served in this sector:

Neo supports your entire supply chain planning, from the long to the short term, addressing sector characteristics such as printing-color gradients, delivery-date promises, curing times and width and material constraints.

Challenges in this industry:

Delivery-Date Promises

With orders coming in every day and an already-loaded factory, it's hard to promise realistic deadlines without seeing the impact of new demand on production, which causes delays.

Wide Product Variety

Variations in dimensions, colors and materials increase the number of operations and the setup times required in the factory, bringing complexity.

High Setup Times

Alternately manufacturing components with different attributes all the time is extremely costly due to the setups involved at the start of each operation.

Tight Margins and Deadlines

Being part of a very volatile and highly competitive supply chain, the need to reduce production costs and lead times is vital.

What to expect from our projects:

Delay Reduction

Visibility, agility and greater scheduling accuracy make it possible to reduce delays and stockouts, since they are identified in advance, allowing simulations to take preventive actions and eliminate them.

Productivity Increase

The scheduling rules will group items of the same color, pigments and dimensions in the same sequence, while better synchronizing operations and reducing wait times, thus reducing productivity losses.

Faster Delivery-Date Promises

With a systemic view of all productive sectors and of the schedule, for each new demand simulated it's possible to evaluate scenarios — already checking capacity and its constraints — to provide deadlines quickly and accurately.

Rescheduling Agility

For any unexpected event in production, such as maintenance or slower-than-expected output, the ability to quickly reschedule the scenario allows greater production control and better results.
