Man­ag­ing and Pro­tect­ing your Reusable Pack­ag­ing Assets — This two-part pro­gram is designed to help end users of reusable pack­ag­ing bet­ter under­stand the issue of prod­uct loss and how to develop sys­tem­atic approaches to bet­ter man­age their valu­able reusable resources. From a sim­ple paper-and-pencil account­ing sys­tem to com­plex RFID solu­tions, man­ag­ing a company’s reusable assets is an impor­tant part of the sup­ply chain process.
