Embark on MultiCo's transformative journey in the CPG sector, where strategic global standardization of packaging machinery led to a reduction in time-to-market, cost savings and a increase in throughput.
The client MultiCo, a leading player in the CPG sector, operated with a diverse array of packaging machinery across its global facilities. This diversity led to inefficiencies in maintenance, procurement, and operations. The varying types of machinery also contributed to longer time-to-market for new products due to the complexity of adapting production lines. As MultiCo expanded its global footprint, acquiring smaller companies and establishing new sites, it inherited a patchwork of packaging machinery. Each facility, with its own unique set of machines, told a story of the company’s evolution and the diverse paths it had traversed. This machinery, while a testament to MultiCo's growth.
The key challenge was to streamline the packaging process across all global facilities. The client needed to standardize packaging machinery to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the overall production process. This required a comprehensive approach to assess the existing machinery, identify optimal solutions, and implement a standardized system globally.
The global standardization initiative led to remarkable outcomes:
