The Story

The client MultiCo, a leading player in the CPG sector, operated with a diverse array of packaging machinery across its global facilities. This diversity led to inefficiencies in maintenance, procurement, and operations. The varying types of machinery also contributed to longer time-to-market for new products due to the complexity of adapting production lines. As MultiCo expanded its global footprint, acquiring smaller companies and establishing new sites, it inherited a patchwork of packaging machinery. Each facility, with its own unique set of machines, told a story of the company’s evolution and the diverse paths it had traversed. This machinery, while a testament to MultiCo's growth.

The Challenge

The key challenge was to streamline the packaging process across all global facilities. The client needed to standardize packaging machinery to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the overall production process. This required a comprehensive approach to assess the existing machinery, identify optimal solutions, and implement a standardized system globally.

Our Approach

  1. Assessment and Planning: The initial phase involved a thorough assessment of the existing machinery across all facilities. This included evaluating the performance, maintenance costs, adaptability, and compatibility of each machine type.
  2. Strategy Development: Based on the assessment, a strategy was developed to standardize the packaging machinery. This involved selecting machinery that was versatile, cost-effective, and easy to maintain, ensuring it could be adapted for various products and packaging types.
  3. Supplier Negotiations: Negotiations with machinery suppliers were conducted to ensure the best possible pricing and service agreements, taking advantage of the scale of global procurement.
  4. Implementation: The standardized machinery was rolled out across all facilities. This included training for staff, establishing maintenance protocols, and setting up a centralized monitoring system for performance tracking.
  5. Continuous Improvement: The implementation was followed by a period of monitoring and continuous improvement, ensuring that the machines operated optimally and any issues were promptly addressed.
