Vision 2025
Vision 2025 PACK EXPO Las Vegas

Asset reliability (AR - a strategic goal of zero unplanned downtime) was one topic discussed by Vision 2025 participants as they weighed in on challenges they face and solutions they’re considering (or using) to improve AR in their respective companies.


This year at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, 127 participants gathered from CPGs and other organizations such as PMMI and the Contract Packaging Association, to discuss key manufacturing challenges with a broad array of stakeholders – from C-suite to mid-level management with various areas of functionality such as operations, engineering, etc. The result is Vision 2025, with an even greater collaboration among a broader array of stakeholders.


Most participants said that they were at the Beginner stage with only a handful at the Intermediate to Advanced stages. This indicates there is considerable room for improvement in AR. And as one panelist noted, this reveals AR to be a process embodying Continuous Improvement (CI) principles rather than a program with a set beginning and end.

Here is just some of the feedback:

What are the greatest challenges you face in getting from where your current program is to where you would like it to be, for example, understanding the value of AR to your company, stating the business case for AR, no roadmap to implementation, etc.?
