The Story:

Helping leading American packaging distributor “Commercial Packaging” establish, grow and manage their manufacturing and supplier network in China, India, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Situation:

Commercial Packaging, being one of the largest packaging distributors in North America, has a broad range of flexible packaging suppliers around the globe.

Their supply network was growing in multiple countries, so they wished to outsource the ongoing devel- opment and management of their international supply network to an organization with a strong global presence on the ground in the packaging industry. They chose MPKi as their long-term partner.

Approach:

MPKi’s team designed and implemented a robust supplier management quality system-for multiple packaging suppliers, in various countries covering many different, flexible product categories. The solution involved the permanent long-term presence of on-the-ground MPKi teams, dedicated to managing and improving the client’s supply network on an ongoing basis.

In addition, a customized version of our supplier management technology suite was installed, providing a web-based solution, and linking Commercial Packaging and their suppliers in one integrated solution.

Results:

Created an effective, flexible packaging supply management system that developed, tested and delivered products from numerous factories, and linked suppliers in various countries in Asia and Latin America. The on-site technology solution supported the MPKi team, and provided the client and their customers real- time access to their PO status, and associated quality performance.
