I got in contact with a company that buys a lot of materials. All these materials are packed needed to protect the content when arriving in the warehouse.

The company wants to have more clearity on this package materials (plastics, wood, carton, etc.). As they need to pay for the waste. Now that they don’t have full control over it, they pay the maximum.

How does your company handle this waste. Does your company have a waste management system connected to IFS? Have package information connected to supplier for purchase part?

All ideas welcome,

Steve

When looking in IFS10 there is Eco Footprint. Anybody prepared such settings? I might ‘misuse’ this functionality as it resembles the ideas that are needed at the purchasing side. To understand the Eco footprint settings better:

Do you know where the link part and substance is maintained (it comes down to view inv_part_emission)?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
