Companies with
a product that widely varies in size and shape must setup a
complex carton supply chain. From this supply chain dozens of
carton SKU must be managed. In order to gain economies of scale
priced cartons - space must be dedicated to warehouse cartons
ordered in quantities of 500 or more. If no space is available or
warehousing is not an option, small quantity orders must be placed
elevating carton costs. This system eliminates the need for a
warehouse, minimum quantity orders, and a complex supply chain by
replacing the pre-converted carton with unconverted raw material.
This raw material can be ordered JIT at economies of scale
prices. This material is converted into the type and size of
carton at the time needed by an automatic system designed for
end-user environments with a large mix of carton sizes and
styles. ------- The results of this...
