Returns Prevention: Product and Packaging Integrity Assessment
"The results of an on-going product and packaging integrity assessment resulted in effective changes that have optimized manufacturing equipment, improved sampling techniques, and implemented 160 packaging enhancements and 69 manufacturing supply chain improvements that have led to an overall reduction in the unsaleables rate of 62%."
From branded to private label, much is invested in the product and the packaging to ensure brand integrity, consumer appeal and product safety. When that integrity is compromised, then the result can be increased returns and worse yet, lost sales.
By listening to your objectives, a TRACE® supply chain analysis solution can be custom designed for your company to assess the integrity of your product and packaging at all or selected points within your supply chain.
