OpX Work Product: Transitioning to Flexible Materials

The latest work product from the OpX Leadership Network helps CPGs ensure a smooth transition when altering pack ops.

The OpX Leadership Network is pleased to introduce its latest work product, Best Practice Transitioning Flexible Materials. While this document is primarily focused on transitioning flexible materials, it offers broader insights into managing changes in capital equipment. Flexible materials serve as the framework for this document, but its principles can be applied to various projects involving alterations to capital assets, such as material changes, speed increases, size adjustments, product modifications, and more. In essence, it serves as a blueprint for effective project management execution of engineering change orders.

This flexible guide results from a collaborative effort that draws input from a diverse group of stakeholders. The expert solutions group is comprised of consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, material suppliers/converters, and OEMs from the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), PMMI, and the OpX Leadership Network.
