Securing your packaging policy

The big names in the high-tech industry are placing increasingly high demands on how they want to receive goods from their suppliers. Due to inefficiencies in the supply chain, by no means all suppliers can meet these requirements. Good packaging management then offers a solution and has many advantages to offer.

For many suppliers in the high-tech industry, meeting the specific supply requirements of OEMs is a huge challenge. A wrong label, a damaged product, a wrongly chosen packaging; a mistake is human and easily made. But mistakes are mercilessly rejected and put pressure on cooperation. And that while they are easy to prevent with a properly secured packaging policy.

Better secure and communicate packaging policies

If you want to significantly reduce the risk of rejection, then sustainable packaging management is the solution. Secure the packaging policy of your parts and articles in detail throughout the chain, so you can be sure that everyone is packaging in the right way. After all, that will pay off big time. There are smart software programs on the market that calculate the optimal packaging for each product. The optimal packaging is as small as possible and offers the product optimal protection.

Improve your performance with good packaging management

The choice of the best-fit packaging is then no longer made by the operators, but by a sophisticated program. Everyone in the company works according to the same packing instructions, uses the optimal packaging, and the products arrive undamaged. This will greatly improve your company’s performance.

Let’s zoom in on the benefits that can be achieved when you invest in good packaging management.

  • More uniformity and professionalism
    With reduction and standardization, you avoid a proliferation of packaging. This helps your employees to keep an overview, creates a professional image and will yield considerable benefits in terms of purchasing and inventory management. Did you know that in practice in 95% of cases a small, standardized set of packaging is sufficient? Only the other 5% require custom packaging.
  • Fewer errors and damages
    Your performance increases enormously when the right product arrives undamaged at the right destination. The system automatically chooses the smallest packaging, taking into account the fragility of the product. The operator/employee does not have to do this himself, which means that the chance of mistakes is zero and the risk of damage decreases dramatically. Especially in fast-growing companies, with many new employees, clear packing instructions can make all the difference.
  • Lower transport costs, lessCO2 emissions
    The best-fit packaging reduces transport volume; you send much less air. An important saving, because it is precisely the transport costs that weigh heavily on the total bill. And it is also more sustainable.
  • Better control of the supply chain
    Good packaging management means making clear packaging agreements throughout the chain so that your packaging policy is applied in the same way throughout the chain. This gives you much better control over the supply chain. With a good software system, you can ensure that everyone always and everywhere receives the correct packaging instructions, fully up-to-date.

Frencken Europe also opts for good packaging management

Frencken Europe is a supplier of mechatronics for international OEMs in the healthcare, semiconductor, analytical and industrial automation industries. We help optimize, secure and communicate Frencken’s packaging policy specifically for the service departments of a major semiconductor customer of theirs.

Because the strict packaging requirements just deviated from the standard packaging method at Frencken, confusion regularly arose in the past in the packaging process. We implemented PackAssist and drew up crystal-clear instructions for both standard service parts and specialties. The result is an even higher performance at Frencken.
