David Fischer of Greif Packaging talks about soliciting cost-saving innovation through an RFP process.
Fischer, president and COO, and his colleagues worked with NineSigma (www.ninesigma.com) in a Request for Proposal initiative to solve Greif Packaging's (www.greif.com) stickiest manufacturing problems, and received 61 RFPs in fall 2007.
In this 7-minute Podcast interview with Packaging World's Rick Lingle, Fischer discusses Greif's experience, and the advantages of going outside the company for new concepts and ideas. Already the company, a supplier of industrial packaging, has begun implementation of new technology to save energy and cut operating costs.
