Serialization: A universal challenge yields staggering survey results

摘要

Last year Healthcare Packaging commissioned a 184-page Playbook on Serialization Strategies. More than 1,000 people have downloaded the document. Each individual had to complete a 20-question survey to receive their copy. Questions included how many lines and how many plants need serialization, who is running the team, how far along is your organization, etc. The results are staggering. (The entire survey is available at pwgo.to/065.) Two things struck me. First, we broke out answers from the U.S. and the rest of the world, learning that answers differed only slightly. Serialization is a universal challenge. Also, concerns were similar across the board, from every stakeholder in the organization (operations, IT, supply chain, package engineering, etc.).
