Georgia-Pacific Extends Packaging Systems Optimization Program

“Companies should not wait until 2012 to achieve sustainability and profitability goals,” explains Reilly. “PSO can help drive results now to meet both internal and external packaging demands.”

Georgia-Pacific’s Packaging Systems Optimization (PSO™) program comprises a rigorous, five-step process, wherein a team of packaging engineers analyze a company’s entire packaging supply chain, focusing on areas including package design, material optimization, shelf impact and SKU consolidation, as well as line productivity, material handling and distribution. After three weeks, the PSO team delivers a detailed report which clearly outlines areas where cost-savings, profitability and sustainability can be mutually achieved.
