Is a Product Identification Site Audit Right for Your Facility?
Specify Alternate Text

If you haven’t had a top-to-bottom review of your coding and labeling operations within the past 5 to 10 years, you are probably overdue for a comprehensive product identification site audit. Technological advancements have allowed for manufacturers to achieve greater efficiencies and accuracy with their product coding efforts for all levels of packaging – from primary products all the way to pallet level labeling.

Diagraph can take the guess work out of coding and labeling operational best practices by offering free comprehensive site audits. We make a series of recommendations that span anywhere from making modifications to current equipment or practices for enhanced productivity to the complete retooling of your product identification operation to help you achieve your production and packaging compliance goals.

Our site audits include a close review of the following key areas:

  1. Productivity and condition of existing equipment

    • Is your equipment performing to its fullest capacity?
    • Is your equipment a proper match for your product coding application/goals?
    • Are there any modifications or maintenance actions that can be taken to achieve full-productivity?
    • How much remaining useful life is estimated for each piece of equipment?
  2. Proficiency of machine operators

    • Are there any bottlenecks or workarounds regularly encountered by your team?
    • Are there system features that are not being utilized that could improve efficiencies?
    • Could your production team benefit from higher-level user training?
  3. Maintenance team strategy

    • Are your preventive maintenance intervals ideal for your manufacturing environment?
    • Do you have everything you need to quickly overcome unexpected downtime?
    • Could your maintenance team benefit from higher-level equipment maintenance training?

 

After reviewing these key areas and other aspects of your packaging compliance requirements, we provide a site audit report with simple recommendations that you can implement immediately as well as bigger picture recommendations that can be implemented overtime with planning and support. At Diagraph, our goal is to make it easy for our customers to achieve the perfect mark on their products. Regular site audits and account reviews are just one of the ways we work in partnership with our customers.
