PACKAGING DESIGN AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN

PACKAGING DESIGN AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN Andrew Hayman, associate consultant with Davies & Robson Software and Alan Wilson, director Cape Systems and Consulting Services, Europe and associate consultant with Davies & Robson demonstrate how the efficiency of packaging can have a major effect on the costs of the manufacturer and the client or end user. They discuss how new cost allocation techniques can reflect the true cost of handling a product through the logistics chain, particularly in respect of the impact that the cube of the product makes upon those costs. Whilst the article concentrates on direct product profitability in a fast moving consumer goods environment the principles and practice apply to any other industry. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Logistics World Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Andrew Hayman, associate consultant with Davies & Robson Software and Alan Wilson, director Cape Systems and Consulting Services, Europe and associate consultant with Davies & Robson demonstrate how the efficiency of packaging can have a major effect on the costs of the manufacturer and the client or end user. They discuss how new cost allocation techniques can reflect the true cost of handling a product through the logistics chain, particularly in respect of the impact that the cube of the product makes upon those costs. Whilst the article concentrates on direct product profitability in a fast moving consumer goods environment the principles and practice apply to any other industry.
