PACKAGING MANUFACTURER COMBATS HIGH COST OF MATERIALS WITH INFORMANCE

World leader in flexible packaging solutions leverages Informance to sustain operational efficiencies.

REDWOOD CITY, CA - Informance International, a leader in manufacturing business intelligence and enterprise manufacturing intelligence solutions announces that a global leader in packaging solutions has selected Informance solutions to drive and sustain manufacturing operations performance to reduce costs and maintain high levels of customer service. The packaging manufacturer is using Informance to increase margins even during this bleak economic climate. Informance is helping to drive the company’s operations improvement initiative throughout the plant network and the enterprise.

"Most manufacturing companies are dealing with significant economic pressure as the cost of raw materials continues to skyrocket," comments John Oskin, Founder and Executive Vice President of Informance. "They want as much as possible to avoid passing that pressure on to customers and consumers, and Informance is proud to be the choice of leading manufacturers who tackle this problem through operations excellence initiatives."

Producers of packaging solutions for consumer goods and industrial markets are especially at risk when raw material, fuel and other costs are on the rise. They have responded like many of their peers across manufacturing industries, by taking action and focusing on efficiencies and increased profitability via operational excellence, rather than strategies that include passing along the financial impact to customers and consumers. As a result this global manufacturer, like many of their counterparts upstream and downstream in the value chain, now relies on Informance to align plant tactics with corporate strategies, to measure and report the financial impact of performance improvements, and to discover, evaluate and take action on opportunities in their manufacturing operations.

In addition to leading EMI and BI solutions and platforms for manufacturing operations, Informance helps manufacturing companies drive their improvement portfolio by publishing manufacturing operations performance benchmark research studies by and across a variety of manufacturing industries. Global manufacturers use the studies to understand how practices of best-in-class companies impact manufacturing performance, and gain insight and direction for their own benchmarking and operations excellence initiatives.
