The Insight Process

  • Close

Design Review

We test your packaging to see if it matches the product specification (spec). If packaging is over-spec, it’s overly strong and expensive, while under-spec packaging is cheaper but more likely to fail. We assess the amount and type of materials, the resulting weight and bulk, and how easy the box is to assemble and pack. We analyse data on damage/return rates and waste, and we evaluate branding impact and the unboxing experience.

Observe warehouse workflow

We visit your premises to observe warehouse work practices, procedures, and environment. We note the number of operatives and level of skills and training. We assess workstation setup, packing efficiencies, box stacking technique, and methods of palleting and loading. We check available storage space, conditions, access, and clutter. We look for bottlenecks and downtime triggers from tape roll changeovers to over- or under-supply of packaging.

Review Materials

We examine the materials you’re currently using to see if they are up to task. If they are old and outdated, they may be causing packaging to fail, or be needlessly bulky, heavy, or expensive. There may be new, thinner, lighter alternatives that perform equally well or better at a lower cost. We check availability and lead times for your materials, along with supplier efficiency/reliability, and issues around quality and sustainability.

Review Management & Processes

We look at your packaging management to see if your budget and resources can be used more effectively. We assess how easy it is to find out quantity and type of packaging you have on site, on order, or being held in stock. We check you’re getting the best unit price for your packaging, have optimal stock-keeping units, and can meet peaks and troughs in demand. We review supplier management, ordering systems, and how you track usage, damages/returns, and waste. We advise you on legislation compliance, and driving efficiencies between departments and sister companies.

Provide Solutions

Using the data and observations, we make recommendations to speed up tasks, streamline processes, and reduce operational costs. We offer practical solutions on how to optimise your team, workflow, storage space, and transportation. We identify where you can introduce greener alternatives and cut waste and emissions. We advise you on how to reduce damages, improve packaging quality and functionality, and enhance the unboxing experience.
