Yesterday we asked the Packaging Question of the Match: What’s the biggest source of waste in most packaging operations? a. Labor movement b. Empty box space c. Packaging material d. Transport costs Answer: b. Empty box space Why? Because in most supply chains, the hidden cost isn’t the box itself - it’s the air inside it. Every inch of unused space means: • more shipping volume  • higher transport costs  • more emissions than necessary  • and lower efficiency per shipment The most advanced packaging operations don’t just reduce material - they eliminate waste inside the box. And that’s exactly where engineering precision makes the difference - just like on the pitch. Next match coming soon. #Packaging #ContinuousImprovement #LeanManufacturing #SupplyChain
