Slashing Packaging Spend
|
|
The Project was based at both the UK and US manufacturing sites. Development procedures and a database were agreed
with local project teams. The market requirements and brand initiatives were
agreed with key Marketing personnel. The stage duration was 6 months with a target saving equal to 20% of the total
annual packaging spend. Fees were performance related with invoicing staggered
to reflect the value of savings as they accrued.

Procedures Implemented

The
Project was completed on time and under budget. Total savings achieved were 20%
over target. On the basis of this successful completion James Ross Consulting
were asked to submit proposals covering other areas within the group. In
addition, proposals were also requested to provide an on-going (retained)
independent Packaging Management function. The
procedures for packaging development and specifications systems implemented
during the stage have led to significant cost avoidance for on-going NPD.
