The problem:
Our client wraps and transports thousands of pallets daily from multiple distribution centres to their high street stores. They tasked us to reduce pallet wrap costs whilst improving load stability.
Our approach:
Working with the onsite teams, our initial analysis quantified the current cost to wrap a pallet and the load stability values. Following extensive trialing of different Machine film we identified the optimum product. An extended validation process ensured these gains were maintained within the daily operational environment and this was supported by site operative and delivery driver feedback.
The result:
- Reduced cost per pallet by 13%.
- 8% more pallets wrapped per hour.
- Implemented a 30% recycled content film.
- Improved load stability, resulting in safer pallets and loads.
