The manager's role in Packaging Execution

As a manager, ensuring efficiency, innovation, and streamlined workflows is crucial. The packaging execution process often creates a bottleneck due to decentralisation, outdated workflows, and growing pressure for speed. Without the right tools, challenges include:

  • Lack of visibility into project timelines
  • Slow packaging turnaround compared to competitors
  • Inefficiencies due to manual errors and miscommunication
  • Increased costs from incorrect file versions
  • Inability to automate critical workflow steps
