At the beginning of 2022, approximately 88% of manufacturers were experiencing longer than average lead times.1 Supply chain delays lengthened the wait for everything from raw materials to technology, equipment, and spare parts.
In the year since, about 76% of manufacturers were optimistic about global supply chain improvements and returning to normalcy in business operations.2 However, increased costs and heightened geopolitical tensions continue to add to substantial delays in delivery of technologies and critical parts, among other factors.
As a result, supply chain experts are anticipating at least another six to 12 months of disruptions1 — and most manufacturers will be left to contend with extended lead times that could mean lost opportunities.
The news may not be great for the near term, but tissue manufacturers aligned with Körber Business Area Tissue are in the best position to circumvent lead time and production delays to gain a consistent competitive advantage.
Strategic & streamlined operations with the Körber Ecosystem
The Körber ecosystem consolidates technologies developed by the Körber Group and highly qualified external partners into a single solution.
All technologies involved in tissue converting environments — from raw paper to finished products and distribution logistics — are accounted for and connected within the Körber ecosystem, making it a powerful “one-stop shop” for tissue manufacturers.
In addition to maximizing OEE, the Körber ecosystem’s single contact point offers manufacturers:
- The best technology for specific market requirements
- Full support in optimizing line layout and minimizing industrial footprint
- Improved management of production time and costs
Ready to ship solutions: Perini MyLine
Perini MyLine is the proven solution for optimizing OEE and production without compromising product quality. The innovation and technology behind the tissue converting equipment makes it a powerful solution, running at production speeds of up to 600 m/minute and up to 40 logs/minute cycle rates.
Having this performance potential already provides a significant competitive advantage, but what makes Perini MyLine even more beneficial is no risk of delay. Perini MyLine and other tissue converting, packaging, and fold equipment, and technical improvement programs (TIPs) are available for purchase now through Körber Tissue Quick Delivery — with no downtime or lead time lags.
Quick Delivery for Faster Results
With Körber Tissue Quick Delivery, tissue manufacturers can proactively add equipment for efficiencies or reliably solve unanticipated production issues to:
- Reduce time-to-market for products
- Seize new business opportunities
- Accelerate overall return on investment
Perini MyLine and a number of other trusted Körber Tissue brands, including MTC and Casmatic, are featured in the Quick Delivery equipment showcase, complete with detailed listings of technical characteristics and key benefits.
Likewise, TIPs are Körber Business Area Tissue service solutions that provide aftermarket upgrades and improvements on all converting, packaging, and fold machines produced by Körber Tissue.
Enhancing installed equipment bases with TIPs that range from small and limited modifications to comprehensive rebuilds keeps machines up to date and efficient — and prevents obsolescence. With TIPs, tissue manufacturers maximize total cost of ownership (TCO), remain competitive in key markets, and improve overall operational efficiency.
TIPs for Quick Delivery are solutions that focus on managing delivery of critical components and routine upgrades or maintenance, as identified by close internal analysis of performance data pertaining to existing TIPs. Making select TIPs available on a quick delivery basis directly addresses lead time and pricing pain points, as well as ensures timely service.
