Prioritize for 2011

摘要

Packaging professionals across the value chain are crunched for resources and time. They need to make changes if they are to build profitability within their organizations. As PTIS starts our 11th year in business, we are troubled with the current state of the industry and the vicious cycle in which so many of our friends and colleagues find themselves. Does this daily grind sound familiar? 1. 6 hours a day in meetings 2. 200 emails to read and reply to 3. 40 voice mails 4. Performance reviews and manager/subordinate updates 5. Budget preparation-both spend and give back 6. New project justification 7. Fire fighting (Trouble shooting) 8. Impromptu drop-ins by boss 9. Personal/personnel crises 10. Education and training 11. Travel expense reporting 12. Demands from other functions, including Marketing, Product Development, Sales, Operations, Procurement, IT, Regulatory, and just about everyone and of course, packaging touches everything!
