Förpackningslogistik på Haldex Traction Systems AB
the most obvious problem at Traction today is the in-between handling that demands much time and resources. The reason is that the packages are not designed with handling in mind. Several of the packages of today also have a poor degree of utilization that means there is room for a fewer number of articles. That in turn means more packages, more transports, more storage space and more staff. On the basis of a specification of demands ? which take quality and environmental influence, as well as transport, handling and economy in account ? we have developed suggestions on new packages that will facilitate handling and lower the total costs, The time of handling will in some cases abbreviate to just a few seconds with the new packages. The total cost ? that include the cost of packaging- and handling as well as the cost of transportation ? can be reduced by between one and two thirds for the five products that have got new packages. What is remarkable is that the cost of transport, not the cost of handling, generates the largest part of the profit. The cost of handling with the larger products is on the whole insignificant in comparison with the two other costs.
