Manufacturing and Industrial
Software for Paper Manufacturing
Reel-based production where output is measured by weight, sold by size, and trimmed into waste at every conversion.
A paper mill buys pulp by weight and sells reels and sheets by dimension. Between the two sit trim loss, moisture and grade variation, none of which appear on an invoice. Mills that measure yield per reel know where their margin goes; mills that measure it per month know only that it went.
What gets in the way
- Trim loss is expected and rarely measured per order
- Moisture affects saleable weight and is not recorded against the batch
- Grade and GSM variation within a run produce complaints nobody can trace
- Reel identity is lost at conversion, so a complaint cannot be tied to a run
- Waste paper and broke are recycled without being valued
What the software handles
- Reel identity carried from the machine through conversion to dispatch
- Yield per order measured against input weight
- Grade and GSM recorded per reel with the run parameters
- Broke and trim recorded and valued rather than assumed
- Customer complaints traced to a reel and a run
What changes
- Yield understood per order rather than per period
- Complaints answerable with the run parameters behind them
- Trim decisions informed by what conversion actually costs
- Recycled broke valued instead of disappearing into consumption
