Towards an Integrated Design of Product and Packaging

Author

Summary, in English

The globalization of the world economy has forced many enterprises to merge and/or to acquire enterprises worldwide. in the next phase of this development, rationalization calls for specialization of functions such as product development and production in one or a few sites, if not being outsourced to external suppliers. These new divisions of the “virtual” enterprise have to collaborate within internal and external networks, where efficient and effective transportation, handling and storing of intermediary and final products is a must. In order to obtain this objective, an integration concept of the design of product and packaging has been proposed by Bjärnemo et al. [ 1]. The acceptance of the need for such a concept in industry has been established by Bramkiev [2]. In this paper an industrially implementable, integrated procedure model for the concurrent design of product and packaging, confined to the product area of mechanical engineering, is presented.
