New Service: Roll Size Optimisation

Find the ideal paper sizes for best trim and minimized stock cost

We have started a new service designed to help plant managers, production managers or technical directors to find answers they have long been looking for.

If you have ever pondered questions like those below we have just what you need.

What if I reduce the number of roll sizes?
What do I gain if I add a roll size?

Reducing the number of roll sizes sounds scary and tempting at the same time: Side trim will almost certainly go up, but by how much?

On the other hand, fewer roll sizes mean fewer changes, smoother production, higher productivity � and reduced paper stock cost.

Or, if your plant has trim figures that are way above industry average, you might ask yourself whether adding a roll size could help. How much trim reduction can you expect? How will production be split up between those new roll sizes?

What are the ideal roll sizes for my plant?

More radically, your approach could be to completely question what you have been doing in the past. Are the roll sizes we�ve always been using really suitable for our mix of orders?

What would we gain if we replaced most � or all � sizes by a new set that is optimally adapted to our orders, based on long term analysis?

For our new corrugator, should it be one of the new, wide models, or should we stick to the traditional 2450mm?

Clearly, a 2800 or 3000mm wide corrugator will boost productivity not just by the higher speed of a new machine, but also by increasing the average width and thus the effective area produced per lineal meter.

But will we be able to go from three shifts to two as result of the combined effect of higher speed and larger width? Or are our orders so adapted to the old paper sizes that the new possibilities will be beneficial only rarely?

How Does Roll Size Optimisation Work?

The new Roll Size Optimisation (RSO) service can help you get reliable answers to all those crucial questions.

On the basis of your order data of ca. three months we calculate several different scenarios according to your questions. You can see in advance how your production situation would change if you used different roll sizes. Read more here...
