18. Returnable Containers ?
Containers owned by a company to
transport purchased items and
materials from suppliers, and deliver
sold items and materials to consumers.

19. This Article is a result of a project conducted on behalf of:
Midwest Assembly and Manufacturing
MAAN

20. Company Overview
MAAN is a
component
manufacturer. Its
operations include
Component
manufacturing,
Painting &
Assembling
products.
MAAN operates on
make – to – order
basis and offers a
wide range of
options for its
products.
MAAN relies on a
number of suppliers
for components that
are needed for the
final assembly
operations.

21. Problem Statement
All containers are owned by MAAN and were
designed by its engineered to hold particular parts
and prevent damages.
The containers are not used directly in the
production process, but their absence due to delays
of return or misdirection could slow or even halt the
production process at MAAN.
When a shortage of containers is noticed, new
containers are manufactured to replace the ones
that are lost or damaged

22. Problem Statement
• Container Misdirection
• Losing containers
• Difficulty locating containers
• Difficulty identifying containers
• Poor communication
• Poor tracking system
• Production Disruption &
• LOOSING CUSTOMERS
Lack of proper logistic management at MAAN
resulted in:

23. Methodology
The authors used the case study approach
of research
Case study (or case report) is a
descriptive, exploratory or explanatory
analysis of a person, group or event.
Case Study Methodology clarifies the
differences between practice-oriented and
theory-oriented research

24. Research Objectives
Diagnose problems, weaknesses
& loopholes of MAAN current
logistics system.
Develop a proposal to enable
MAAN track and manage its
returnable containers
effectively and efficiently.

25. Research Tools
Communication
Feedback from
Suppliers
Survey
Exploration of
potential liability
contracts
Interviews
Identification of
tracking
technologies.
Experiment

26. Recommendations
Improve the
current
communication
and information
flow
Ensure
suppliers
liability
Implement a
tracking
technology
(RFID)
