Paper, Pulp & Packaging

The paper, pulp and packaging sector is greatly affected by regulatory compliance issues related to forest management, environmental concerns such as CO2 emission norms and the Kyoto protocol. Characteristics like operations with extra controls, complex sequencing rules and complex optimization for planning, scheduling and fluctuating demands are key factors in compliance. Forest and paper products industry also need to take note of the serious environmental risks and impacts such as liquid effluents, air quality, solid waste, resource consumption and recycling.

Sectoral challenges such as managing demand cycles – flexible supply to demand, pricing pressures from large retailers, global issues – regionalized players, exports, foreign exchange fluctuations, capital intensive manufacturing capacity and average inventory discipline, increasing raw material and energy costs and complying with regulatory and environmental guidelines need to be addressed in order to optimize capacity utilization at lowest cost.
