...1. Hoe staat Bayonne Packaging er voor? Met Bayonne Packaging gaat het momenteel niet goed. Aan de hand van een aantal punten willen we de problemen analyseren en met een aanbeveling komen voor Dave Rand, de CEO van Bayonne Packaging, Inc. ( A ) Wat is de huidige operationele strategie van Bayonne Packaging? Bayonne Packaging levert alle diensten die nodig zijn om een innovatief en complex verpakkingsmateriaal te maken. Dit begint met het ontwerpen en eindigt met het leveren van het eindproduct. Deze zijn allemaal toegespitst op de specifieke wensen van de industriële klant. In het begin was zij vooral gericht op promotiemateriaal, software verpakkingen, luxe dranken etc. Na het bijna volledig wegvallen van de software verpakkingen, heeft Bayonne zich noodgedwongen in nieuwe markten moeten begeven. Daarbij heeft zij haar sterkten, innovatief en moeilijk ontwerp en de mogelijkheid tot vouwen en lijmen van complexe papiervormen, kunnen uitspelen. Zij richt zich op klanttevredenheid en kan gepositioneerd worden onder operational excellence. Hierbij zijn de volgende aspecten van belang: kwaliteit, snelheid, betrouwbaarheid, flexibiliteit en kosten. ( B ) Hoe kan de Operations & Supply Chain prestatie worden gekwantificeerd? Betrouwbaarheid o Het percentage leveringen dat in zijn geheel op tijd bij de klant is geleverd per periode o Aantal keren dat er met een klant over een nieuwe leverdatum wordt gecommuniceerd met reden waarom.

...Vershire Case Study Vershire Case Study Case Background Vershire Company was a diversified packaging industry organized with several divisions focused on different product lines. One of these is the Aluminum Can Division, which by far is one of the largest manufacturers of aluminum beverage cans in the United States. The company has a decentralized culture, with the division general managers exercising considerable autonomy in decision-making. Under a general manager were two line managers responsible for production and marketing functions. Over the years, the Aluminum Can Division had built plants scattered throughout the country. Each plant is responsible to serve a geographical area, both for large and small-scale customers. The industry is very competitive, as each manufacturer employs the same technology and everyone was viewed by customers to have the same product quality as anyone in the industry. Thus, customers can readily shift from one supplier to another in cases that delivery schedulesand product qualities were not met. Vershire employs a long-term budgetary control system. Corporate sales budgets are prepared both in a top-down and bottom-up approach. These sales budgets are then translated to sales target per production plants and became the basis of target profits for each plant. Upon the end of the period, managers are then evaluated based on these target profits, even when budgeted sales are not met. Also, other performance measures are at place that...

...Applying the principles presented by C.K. Prahalad, and Porter and Kramer’s ‘Creating Shared Value’, please conceptualize a product or service for BOP markets (you may use a new product or service, or one that is an extension of an existing product). Idea = biological packaging (leaves, sawdust, manure) Tagline = total product value Assumptions: ● BoP markets lack sufficient trash and recycling services and will burn their trash to provide heat and fuel to their homes and families. ● A 40lb bag of Pellets is about $6 and good for about 12 hours of burn time. ● 3 ⅓ lb of wood pellets will last 1 hour ● ~1 lb of wood pellets will last ~20 minutes Four Action Framework The first question forces a company to consider eliminating factors that companies in an industry have long competed on. Often those factors are taken for granted even though they no longer have value or may even detract from value. Sometimes there is a fundamental change in what buyers value, but companies that are focused on benchmarking one another do not act on, or even perceive, the change. ● package/contents structure ● input and construction materials ● distribution channels / efficiencies of scale ● discard process The second question forces a company to determine whether products or services have been over-designed in the race to match and beat the competition. Here, companies over-serve customers, increasing their cost structure for no gain. ● package...

...of consumers. In many international destinations, consumers buy items frequently, but in smaller quantities, due to transportation, space and monetary limitations. Match your product offerings to consumer behavior to increase your international product success. Offer smaller quantities in easy-carry packaging. Consider offering larger quantities in single-serve packages for sales at smaller, neighborhood-oriented stores. Distribution Distribute your products through multiple channels to increase product awareness. In many countries, individuals buy a large portion of their consumable products in small neighborhood stores. The merchants in these stores obtain their supplies by direct purchases at larger or wholesale markets and through local distributors. Ensure your products are available in all distribution channels to increase product exposure and availability to all merchants. To help penetrate new global markets, offer samples, targeted promotions and joint distribution with an established product to increase product adoption. Adaptation Adapt your products to local tastes, governmental regulations, technological differences and cultural norms. Ensure product packaging uses appropriate terms and images for your target market. For example, remove cattle-based ingredients from products you sell in India due to common religious beliefs that cows are sacred animals. Consider using regional or country-specific cultural icons or celebrities to promote your product to make...

...Discuss at least two environmental problems caused by such extensive plastic bag use. Well one problem would be people littering these bags leaving them to harm the animals because they try to eat them not knowing that they can kill them and also the aquatic life gets hurt when the bags are dropped into the water (Borkowski, 2006). Another problem could be that some plastic can be very toxic to the point that it can cause cancer (Borkowski, 2006). If you were in charge, what plan might you propose to reduce or eliminate their use and the only way that they won’t discuss the economic impacts of implementing your plan versus the financial impacts of making no change in our current use? I would get everyone to buy reusable bags because if you don’t buy them then in some form of way they will be paid for even if the food prices have to go up. The money is the biggest reason that they don’t want it but they wouldn’t want the food prices to go up either so they may agree. Or If we don’t we don’t know when the government may wake up one day and just take away plastic as chain did and then if we are already train this would not affect no one and it will also save many materials used to make this product.

...straight to the trashcan; the number of packs is growing along with the consuming growth. More consuming produces more waste. Government and businesses encourage consuming because it leads to high profits and development of state economy. They are not interested in the situation there a person is going to use something for a long time. Society is being bombarded with commercials, pleading to buy, for instance, a new mobile phone; buying new things because throwing away old but good things. The problem of garbage is very complicated. As we can see, government is not interested of reducing consuming. Thus, the responsibility has to be taken by individuals and non-governmental organizations. Certain laws, regulating the percentage of packaging material per ton of product should be established. Moreover, interesting programs, involving people to participate can be developed. For example, a bonus for not asking for a plastic bag in supermarkets or for buying extra large packs of food. In addition, everyone should become concerned about the future of human beings and our planet. If we do not wish to be buried in rubbish, we should think twice before buying things we do not...

...JFS R: Concise Reviews/Hypotheses in Food Science Food Packaging—Roles, Materials, and Environmental Issues KENNETH MARSH, PH.D., AND BETTY BUGUSU, PH.D. The Institute of Food Technologists has issued this Scientific Status Summary to update readers on food packaging and its impact on the environment. Keywords: food packaging, food processing dvances in food processing and food packaging play a primary role in keeping the U.S. food supply among the safest in the world. Simply stated, packaging maintains the benefits of food processing after the process is complete, enabling foods to travel safely for long distances from their point of origin and still be wholesome at the time of consumption. However, packaging technology must balance food protection with other issues, including energy and material costs, heightened social and environmental consciousness, and strict regulations on pollutants and disposal of municipal solid waste. Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of items commonly thrown away, including packages, food scraps, yard trimmings, and durable items such as refrigerators and computers. Legislative and regulatory efforts to control packaging are based on the mistaken perception that packaging is the major burden of MSW. Instead, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that approximately only 31% of the MSW generated in 2005 was from packaging-related materials, including glass, metal, plastic, paper, and paperboard—a percentage that has remained...

...impression investigation Cao Youjia, Wang Yicheng, Li Simei, Gao Junhong Abstract In our experiments, the research sheds light on consumers’ purchase intention and overall impression towards six types of combination of chocolate package and price: 1. aesthetic package with a relatively high price, 2. aesthetic package with an intermediate price, 3. aesthetic package with a relatively low price, 4.plain package with a relatively high price, 5.plain package with an intermediate price, 6.plain package with a relatively low price. After the six between-subject experiments, we find that package design and price setting do have influence on customers’ preference to purchase, but not as strong as our perception. On the other hand, the packaging has significance influence on the customers’ overall impression towards the product. The aesthetic package with the highest price leaves the customer the best impression. Implications for future application for businesses are discussed in the final part. Key words: Package design, price setting, analysis of variance, purchase intention. Introduction “Man shows that he is affected by appearance, by something that causes him pleasure over and above the immediate utility of the object” (Clay, 1908). Designing aesthetic products to satisfy the consumers’ need is of growing importance in marketing. As core attributes of product, such as quality and functionality, become increasingly homogeneous (Reimann, Schilke, & Thomas, 2010)...

...INTRODUCTION: There is a general belief that packaging of Nigerian food products lacks the quality that can make them competitive in the local and global markets. Although some of the locally made products are considered to be of high quality and unique, but it is still very unfortunate that they are not accepted as good packaged food products, to enable them to be sold successfully in the local and global markets. Most of the packaging materials used are not environmentally-friendly, they are not designed properly while others get their food products spoilt, as a result of poor packaging system, leading to huge capital losses to manufacturers of such products, not to talk of the huge environmental problems caused by non-biodegradable materials used. The problem of poor packaging of locally made food products took a centre stage, after the Nigeria Export Processing Zone Authourity Decree 1992 was established by the Nigerian government to assist the export of Made-in-Nigeria products to the global market. It was then discovered that most of the exported food products to the international market could not be sold because of some of the above mentioned issues. Many efforts have been made by the various stakeholders in the packaging and export sector ever since to solve the poor packaging problem of locally made food products. In spite of all these efforts, the problem still persists. There are many factors that may contribute to poor or substandard packaging. Factors such as the manufacturer’s...

...first thinking about changing the packaging of Tic-Tac breath mints one must ask why? The Tic-Tac package is an icon, recognizable by pretty much everyone across not only the United States but North America, South America, and Europe. Think of the classic Seinfeld episode where Elaine gives her co-worker a package of Tic-Tacs so she can hear when he is sneaking up on her. As a brand you know that you have a top position when one of the most successful television shows of all-time bases an entire episode around your product and packaging. With such strong brand recognition and being so well known across the globe it might seem foolish to change the packaging for Tic-Tac Chill mints. However, it is necessary that certain changes be made to the new package design in order to successfully compete and keep up with today’s breath mint market. Since 1969, when Tic-Tac first came out, the breath mint market has changed drastically. Mints are now typically larger and have much stronger flavors than breath mints from twenty and thirty years ago. Packaging now is also much more flashy and eye-catching than the classic Tic-Tac packaging that has been used since first being started. Since the Chill mints are going to be a more modern breath mint with a larger size than the original Tic-Tac and have a more intense flavor they are going to be competing against breath mints like Ice Breakers and Altoids who both have very distinct and noticeable packaging. To keep up with this competition...

...conducted by the Paperboard Packaging Alliance showed that in the minds of consumers, product and package are one and the same. Whatever a package says to a shopper – through words, graphics, material, size – is exactly what its contents become, be they a bottle of perfume or a bottle of milk. An interesting fact for distributors: choosing the right size and material for your packaging could cut your logistical costs considerably. Wherever you are in the supply chain, your department needs to think hard about packaging: an under-discussed but increasingly important factor in commercial success. In her paper investigating product packaging, Bo Rundh lists the external influences on package design that show it to be a continuously developing part of business. Over the past decade, changes in consumer behaviour, environmental concerns, globalization, distribution, marketing and technology have turned effective packaging design into a fine art. Designers must now be aware, for instance, of current cultural opinions on healthy living and lifestyle choices, of the latest policies on green business practice, and on local preferences in the different regions they sell to. They must also consider unit costs, as well as the durability of packaging materials for the purposes of shipping and handling. Balancing these considerations carefully is central in establishing competitive advantage. It is important that businesses do not just equate packaging with branding, although any ...

...mass produced chemical used in the manufacture of plastics 2.3 Billion tonnes every year by FDA (Food & Drug Administration of USA). It is found in plastic food and drink packaging, such as baby bottles and sports bottles, and as a liner in canned food and drinks and storage containers (drinking water bottles, polysterene). European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reported that exposure to the chemical Bisphenol-A (BPA) could damage health, particularly among vulnerable groups such as babies and pregnant women.Bisphenol-A (BPA) is the chemical in plastic which can mimic the action of natural human hormones (Female hormone). These foreign hormones can upset normal hormonal balance, stimulate the growth and development of reproductive tumors (breast, uterine, prostate), impair fertility (in males- lower sperm count), and disrupt pregnancy. Worse, many can cross the placenta to affect the fetus and get into breast milk. REDUCE buying plastic made food container. Switch to a stainless steel or glass refillable water bottle for personal use. Avoid heating food in plastic containers (microvawe). Buy fresh food instead of canned foods. Avoid all clear, hard shell plastic reusable containers. Do not freeze plastic water bottle with water as this can release carcinogens to the water. Avoid polystyrene packaging. In conclusion, plastics are not as promising as it was once...
