Challenge

    Our customer (name withheld) was looking to start up a new project with a limited budget like most start ups. Upon market survey, he found that customers need the final product finished in various forms eg. Roll form, Sheet form, Stack form and some customers want blank labels too.

    He also found that to be able to serve them he would need to invest in different machines and choose what customer needs he would like to serve and buy the machine accordingly.

    He came to us and discussed the constraints he faced in choosing what new machines to invest in one by one according to what end products he would like to serve customers with. He was hesitating due to the high investment overall in terms of time and money as well as planning required for each investment to add New products to his portfolio.
