Supply Chain Analysis

Our ipc supply chain analysts possess a unique combination of skills and expertise that offers our clients an unprecedented opportunity to reduce costs in many areas and add value to the bottom line. Packaging accrues costs as it moves through the supply chain from incoming raw material to finished goods transportation, storage and disposal. The sum of all these costs is:
The Total Cost of Packaging.

The total cost of packaging is defined as all costs associated with packaging as it moves through the packaging users supply chain:

• Incoming Material Cost
• Incoming Logistics Cost
• Raw Materials Storage
• Outgoing Logistics Cost
• Waste Disposal Cost
• Regulatory Cost

An ipc supply chain analyst will help find ways to minimize the costs associated with each component of the supply chain. Your supply chain analyst will look at each cost area and how package design, supply method and material influence the cost. Other areas your supply chain analyst will focus include making recommendations based on the supply chain analysis and assessing the impact of proposed changes through the entire process.
