Henkel and Nordmeccanica host Scrap Reduction Workshop
In a concluding presentation, Justin Mehaffy, Process Solutions Director for Henkel Packaging, Consumer Goods and Construction Adhesives, discussed a case study showing the benefits of a structured approach to scrap definition, measurement, analysis, improvement and control.
“For the supervisors, operators and decision-makers who run flexible packaging operations, scrap is a big issue,” said Perkins. “Henkel’s philosophy is to have specialists who understand the flexible packaging market and the issues that are important to our customers. Managing scrap well, with the ultimate goal of eliminating it, can make the difference between being profitable and not being profitable.” Attendees were able to hear from Henkel, who supplies adhesive, and Nordmeccanica, a major machine supplier. And the presentation from Duncan Darby, who teaches coursework in a flexible packaging curriculum at Clemson University, was very well received, too.
