Plus Service Package
Productivity
We have been set up to assist the small and
medium sized disposables manufacturers in becoming and staying profitable.
The charts to the right show the amount of money that can be saved
by having good productivity and low machine waste in a baby diaper
manufacturing plant.
(The
productivity savings are based on a ratio of 1 to 3 between variable
and fixed costs)
Typical
Efficiency savings
From the charts for a 3 shift operation we can see that
an increased productivity of 10,000 diapers per shift will earn nearly
$175,000 per year, and a reduction in machine waste of 2%
will earn around $90,000 per year. A total of $265,000
every year!
To effect these sort of savings we will visit your company and review
and improve any or all of the items from the lists below. The general
scope and cost would be agreed between us prior to the visit.
