| A quote from Linpac's Linformer magazine by Mr A Swan, Senior Material
Handling and Packaging Engineer, Ford Motor Company A WATCHWORD FOR PACKAGING EFFICIENCY Ford senior material handling and packaging engineer Alex Swan explains, "Hammock systems are ideal for the delivery of interior hard trim parts and have become an integral part of our supply chain to the extent that 'hammock' has become a watchword for packaging efficiency and now enjoys generic status across Ford Trim and Assembly operations". He continues; "we cannot afford to compromise when packaging sensitive trim components where product quality expectation are paramount. Hammock packaging means that large trim parts such as tailgate trim panels can enjoy superior full protection, maximise packing density, and eliminate daily disposal of significant volumes of internal cardboard and polythene packaging materials." PAYBACK CONFIDENCE "Using these consistent and reliable re-usable packaging systems enables Ford to confidently predict exact payback times, a crucial factor in determining the economic viability of our packaging systems." |
