Key Benefits from Analysis

• Reductions in Capital and Operating Cost- use
  life cycle or option cost analysis- exploit
  multifunctional IBC attributes- use dynamic
  simulation - integrate with the supply chain

Key Benefits from Analysis

• Faster response and Higher Efficiency- use
  packing floor KPI analysis and set
  targets- use dynamic simulation and verify in
  practice- integrate with the supply chain and
  talk to suppliers and customers

Key Benefits from Analysis

• Increased shareholder value - shareholders
  require reasonable return for their investment
  in a reasonable time.- this is totally in line
  with the cost and value strategies outlined
  above.- it is easy to communicate as a concept
  with the key numbers
