An ERA review confirmed that TEM Čatež's packaging processes held savings potential. ERA’s solution delivered 19% total savings without adding unnecessary supplier complexity.
TEM Čatež d.o.o. are a trusted leader in the domestic market and a growing international force, but with growth comes new pressures.
An ERA review of waste materials (non-ferrous metals) quickly confirmed that processes were already efficient. Packaging, however, told a different story.
ERA’s “best buy” analysis uncovered a balanced solution that delivered 19% total savings - substantial reductions without adding unnecessary supplier complexity. Although, ERA’s involvement didn’t end with negotiations. They actively supported implementation, supplier sampling, and monitoring, working side by side with TEM’s procurement and operations.
Key Results:
- 19% savings across packaging categories
- Improved supplier agreements, tied to material indices
- New suppliers introduced with no disruption to production
- Technical rationalisations reduced process costs
- Service quality and product presentation fully preserved or improved
For TEM, packaging had always been a cost of doing business. With ERA, it became a source of strategic advantage.
