Packaging for Engine Parts

ExPak solution for Engine Parts 

The Customer Case:

  • Customer produces several different sizes of diesel engines.
  • Nefab was asked to analyze the supply chain flow for two sizes of crank shafts delivered into the customer’s plant by their supplier.
  • Main issue with the existing crank shaft packaging was that the current solution wasn’t reusable.
  • High amounts of material waste produced on-site by current solution was very costly and inconvenient.

The Nefab Solution:

Nefab performed a packaging review, which analyzed the current flows, materials used, return trips and various other factors in the total cost assessment.  This led to the customer deciding that an investment in a Nefab returnable system would be the most cost-efficient solution.The Nefab project team proposed a 12 mm collapsible plywood container (RePak T) which was designed to fit the customer’s special requirements. As a result, the customer got a completely customized packaging solution, including two different sizes of plywood crates, with dedicated inner packaging for additional product protection.
