Whether we’re bidding on a new job or have been working on it for 15 years we look for new opportunities to meet your challenging goals. Cost reduction through labor efficiencies is paramount but increasingly new strategies must be developed to reduce material costs and innovate to achieve marketing, functional, and sustainability goals.




Our problem solving has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for our partners – or avoided hundreds of thousands in cost increases. The main services we offer are:
  • Production Labor Cost Review
  • Raw Material Vendor Review
  • Raw Material Design and Innovation
  • Sustainability Initiative Implementation
You can rest assured that we consistently look at all projects with an objective eye on improvement resulting in cost reduction for you.

Case Studies

Sustainability

CPS provided a clamshell partner a new sustainable design that reduced material costs by 16% and increased post consumer recycled waste content from 30% to 88%. New packaging moved from an RPET clam using 30% post consumer recycled waste to a CCNB carton made from 88% post consumer recycled waste. The carton also incorporated design improvements that added display functionality and allowed for increased automation.

Material Cost Reduction

When one component of a project dramatically increased in price, CPS worked with the vendor to conceptualize a lower cost option that maintained all of the features of the original but mitigated 71% of the price increase.

Labor Cost Reduction

A partner who sells to large retailers had price pressure from their customers. CPS staff used Lean Manufacturing principles to reduce labor costs for one partner by 8% on a volume of 6 million pieces per year.

Speed

When a company’s existing vendor fell behind on a multi-million piece job, CPS completed it during the Christmas/New Year holiday season. 400,000 pieces were completed in three days including work on New Year’s Eve to accomplish the year-end deadline.

Agility

A partner had their raw materials delayed in customs cutting production time in half. The job was partially automated, which created a bottleneck to increasing volume. CPS quickly procured additional machinery to double volume and achieve the deadline.

Problem Solving

A new partner approached CPS with a need to redesign a part in their retail product but their solution resulted in a 20% labor cost increase. CPS implemented a solution serving the same needs with no increase in labor cost.
