Assessment Of Capabilities

James Ross Consulting were asked to assess actual equipment
and process capabilities for existing equipment and to compare these with
identified and potential requirements from the supply chain / market. Client wished to develop and launch a range of Professional
Haircare products, using custom bottles, for sale across Europe.
Timescales for the project were tight (originally assuming that stock
containers would be used). Existing resource could not cope with the project.
Consequently, James Ross Consulting were asked to manage the packaging
development aspects of this work. Timescales for component supply, packing trials and
production were achieved, in line with marketing objectives.
