PACKAGING INDUSTRY: NEW ERP SYSTEMS OPTIMIZE PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY CHAIN
Packaging must fulfill numerous official regulations, including ISO standards. At the same time, packaging must be cost-effectively available in the right place at the right time—while meeting the latest industry standards. Companies in the packaging industry need ERP systems that allow more efficient production and supply chain management (SCM), while enabling them to react rapidly to new standards and requirements.
New, Sustainable Packaging Requires Rapid Modifications to Production Processes
Packaging, as well as its contents, must meet the demands of customers and vendors. The current trend is toward environmentally sustainable solutions, like shelf-ready packaging solutions (shelf-ready packaging printed with advertising), bioplastics, or self-adhesive linerless labels. Trends and technical changes must be rapidly implemented in order for companies to remain competitive. A flexible ERP system takes into account all these factors and helps save on production and supply chain costs.
