Case Study: Leading Equipment and OEM Manufacturer reduces packaging costs and improves brand consistency with RR Donnelley

Complex Supply Chain Streamlined to Reduce Costs

Leading equipment and Original Electronics Manufacturers needed to revitalize its branding and packaging across a complex global supply chain spanning five manufacturing sites in four countries and more than 40 suppliers. To support brand consistency, anti-counterfeiting, and tighter control over art, die-lines, inventory, and warehouse space, the company turned to RR Donnelley for a single-source packaging and supply chain solution.

RR Donnelley delivered centralized supply chain management, structural design and engineering, color management, analytics, and vendor-managed inventory with JIT delivery support. The result was a more streamlined global packaging operation, improved quality and brand consistency across regions, and an 18% product cost reduction in the first year, with additional savings from volume rebates and lower working capital costs.
