New Packaging Lines for international Food Company in Germany

New Packaging Lines for international Food Company in Germany

The factory was struggling to implement the investment decision of reconstructing two existing packaging lines and the installation of a new PET-production line for packaging portion packs. 

At the start of the P2 involvement, the status and perspective of both projects were unclear. Challenges included cooperating with suppliers to create realistic technical solutions based on accurate information on required product quality and the supply process. In addition, this had to be translated into a realistic planning and fitted into the budget. The organisational challenge was to foster constructive co-operation between all stakeholders and help them to accept the realistic planning even though it deviated from the presumed budgetary and time constraints, 

P2 has taken care of:

  • Planning and implementation of the two projects.
  • Managing the internal and external project teams.
  • Including realistic risk assessment in the project plan.
  • Signalling deviations and redefining the plan based on realistic data.
  • Initiate decision making (local, national, corporate) on accepting changes in the project planning, resources, risks.
  • Assuring commitment of suppliers to deliver within in time and quality constraints, and redefine plan in case of deviations.
