Splits packing line/ Buzz Pack to COMFORTclose
01
Staff Reduction.
​
If we calculate conservatively, that one person in a packing line costs £18 a hour to include NI and pension contributions the annual cost per individual is a minimum of £37,440 this doesn't take into account absence or holiday cover.
​
This is based on a 5 day working week @40hrs a week.
02
Intralogistics/ Time and Motion.
​
The COMFORTclose system integrated into a packing line with the buzz pack machine reduces the amount of time moving boxes to and from packing stations.
It also reduces the time it takes to seal a box top and bottom manually, perfectly, every time.
​
On average a good starting point is that the integration of COMFORTclose into a packing line with Buzz Pack machine will save 15 mins per hour per person.
​
So therefore an hourly saving of £4.50.
Based on the £18 an hour calculation.
​
This is an annual saving of £9,360 per person.
03
Portion Control/ Quality Assurance
​
The COMFORTclose will tape the boxes top and bottom exactly the same each and every time, ensuring quality control and portion control.
​
Therefore the the "pack cost" is consistent.
​
In terms of the end user unboxing experience, the COMFORTclose wet tape is not only applied consistently every time, but is also tamper proof and strong.
​
Combined with the Buzz Pack box strength and integrity, we ensure the products safe during transport, with a professional, consistent end user unboxing experience, which enhances the brand integrity of Power Tool Products.
04
COMFORTclose/ Cost/ ROI
​
The invest required for a COMFORTclose is £36,000.
​
If we calculate the ROI based on reducing the packing process by X1 person @ £37,400 the ROI is under 12 months
​
If we include the time and motion saving of £9,360 for X1 person the return on investment is closer to 9 months.
​
If the Buzz Pack and COMFORTclose packing line reduces the packing process by X2 people @£74,880 then the ROI.. NOT including any additional time and motion savings, the ROI is closer to 5 months.
​
Not forgetting to consider the pack quality benefits too of course
