A lot of consumer packaged goods (CPG) and food companies are under-leveraging their packaging operations – in other words, they haven’t really analyzed where they should be doing it and how to use it more effectively to achieve greater supply chain benefits.
In this episode, Paul Lomas, VP at Ryder Supply Chain Solutions, discusses some of the reasons why packaging seems to fall through the cracks in supply chain decisions, and he’ll provide some examples of how companies are using packaging to enable and enhance their postponement and sustainability strategies and make smarter supply chain network design decisions.
