What the materials cover

The documents explain how the price of films and film-based packaging is built up. They cover the main cost drivers and the cost shares of individual finishing steps, including material, process, waste and value-added costs. In addition, they show how suppliers and processes can be assessed for strengths and weaknesses, and whether a supplier's equipment suits a given product. Practical exercises help participants follow a costing calculation or develop their own scheme for pre- and post-calculation. The content is aimed at purchasing and sales staff, developers, project managers, controllers and production managers in the packaging industry, and no prior knowledge is required.
