It has a significant market share in the plastics market as well as supplying many well-known companies with flexible plastic products. Amcor Flexibles offers many products including printed or plain, single or multi layered plastic films, bags and other plastic based products.Currently Amcor Flexibles Acacia Ridge develops its products in four independent stages; extrusion, printing, lamination and conversion.Amcor Flexibles Acacia Ridge produces printed plastic products which vary in print design complexity, quantity, size and features.udDue to recent changes in how the business operates, theuddocumentation for the supply chain processes is now outdated and needs updating. There have also been changes in the Oliver Wight Class A process on which Amcor Flexibles follows. Therefore, the existing documentation is not sufficient and new documents must be created to adhere to these changes.The CEED project has been established in order to create and amend all necessary documents for the upcoming compliance audit. It will also serve to maintain Amcor Flexibles’ high standard in supply chain management and allow managerial personnel to have clear and precise documentation on the supply chain processes.This research comprised of identifying the areas of the documentation relating to the supply chain processes currently performed at Amcor Flexibles Acacia Ridge, that are currently obsolete and new aspects and concepts that require addition.The outcomes of this study will be used for management personnel at Amcor Flexibles to effectively manage and direct the supply chain and item processes.
