But a significant share of the actual costs arises later: during ongoing operations on the packaging line. For example, through additional feeding systems, more frequent changeovers, manual interventions, coordination effort between components or disruptions that interrupt line flow.

What matters is how it performs within the overall process. ❓️How many components need to be procured, checked and provided? ❓️How stable is the feeding process on the line? ❓️How much coordination is required between procurement, supply chain, production and quality? ❓️How often are changeovers or manual interventions needed? With solutions such as pre-assembled pharmaceutical packaging or Combi-Packs, process steps can be reduced, interfaces simplified and lines aligned more closely with stable serial production.
