Productivity Redefined: Competitive now and into the future
Friday, 6 September 2024
This week the British Plastics Federation (BPF) launched a new initiative that aims to support the UK plastics industry compete in a world-wide market, by improving efficiency and outlining best-practice methodology in a technology driven factory of the future.
The culmination of two years of collaborative work by key stakeholders, "Productivity Redefined" launches with the first of a series of inter-related documents focussing on specific themes that form the foundation to manufacturing operations in the plastics industry.
Available as free downloads to BPF members, these documents pull together a wide range of expertise from the UK plastics industry and have been peer reviewed to deliver:
- Industry best practice
- State of the art developments
- Data backed evidence
- Case studies
- ROI plans
Guides will be released in phases with the first set of documents available now:
- Energy Management
- Equipment Effectiveness (part I: Injection Moulding)
- Product Design
Three more guides are expected by the end of the year:
- Automation
- Digitalisation (Part I: Real Time MES, Part II: ERP/MRP)
- Waste Minimisation
Guides will be revise annually to ensure they keep up with industry standards and innovation. Phase II is already underway with more documents in the pipeline for 2025.
