Timeliness of initation, execution and completion

One of the most sensitive factors in the development of a CPG product or packaging is speed to market.  Regardless of the products history or value, if you cannot get it to market fast enough to penetrate, your product will not succeed as well as you would expect.  You may also find yourself releasing a product after your competition, even though you began the development lifecycle well before they did.

A project can be broken down into three easily identified areas, each of which affects the overall delivery timeline in a specific way.

Initiation:  When a CPG product is conceptualized and selected for development, invariably the program burdended by a lengthy initiation process.  Many times this is due to the order of operations, lack process based oversight on new initiatives, or a simply the lack of accurate data.

Execution:  As a developing product is making its way through the work cycle, it is simply adding to the burden of your staff.  A wide array of factors can cause delays in addressing new items in the work queue.  The longer the delay, the greater the possibility that the work item may get lost or buried by more visible activities.

Completion:  The final step for most product or package processes is the approval.  Based upon the responsibility sets within a company, this can be a single individual or a consensus group of multiple departments.  Even at this stage in development it is commonplace for product/package data to be incomplete, tracking information not be available or the final output is simply wrong.  When this occurs, delays are inevitable, rework is required and the entire lifecycle of the product comes into question.

Logix3 understands how these macro process steps can significantly affect each other and the overall turn time of the initiative.  We utilize our own workflow engine and support team to customize the correct monitoring and process stimulation solution from your companies needs.

At each step, Logix3 is tracking project progress ensuring that the appropriate actions are taken when a workflow activity is in jeopardy of missing its scheduled deadline.
