Who we help · Packaging
More off the line, less overtime
You win the order, then the line can't turn it around fast enough: changeovers eat the day, scrap eats the margin, and your big customers feel every delay. Mike finds the constraint capping your throughput and installs the cadence to clear it.
Sound familiar?
The challenges we hear most in packaging
Changeovers eat your best hours
Every setup and material swap steals run time, and without a standard changeover the line slows to whoever's on shift. Capacity disappears into setups nobody's measuring.
Scrap and waste quietly eat the job
Off-spec runs, material waste and rework turn a profitable order into a break-even one. By the time it shows up in the numbers, the run is long gone.
Scheduling bends to whoever shouts loudest
Big customers reshuffle your week, jobs get sequenced by panic, and the line sits idle waiting on the wrong work order or late material.

Learn more →Why VITO
Why VITO gets packaging
Packaging lives or dies on flow: material in, through the line, and out on time to demanding customers. Mike maps where that flow stalls, finds the constraint capping throughput, and installs the changeover discipline, scheduling and daily numbers to clear it without adding a shift.
- ✓Treats changeover, run rate and scrap as one connected throughput problem
- ✓Builds a schedule that holds up when big customers reshuffle the week
- ✓Installs daily KPIs so waste and downtime surface early, not at month-end
