Read MoreContract Manufacturing: Cigarette OEM
Hizbullah Shoukat November 24, 2020 No Comments
Maximizing production capacities as much as possible is important for investment-heavy cigarette manufacturers; and OEM is a handy tool to achieve just that. Apart from the largest multinationals and sheltered state monopolies, almost every cigarette company engages in OEM (a.k.a. contract manufacturing), not only making their own products but also manufacturing cigarettes for other brand owners. Expensive machinery ties up substantial investments and is costly to maintain. It therefore should be utilized as much as possible instead of having it sitting idle. Besides, OEM provides welcome additional income that helps keep a cigarette firm in the black – and workers in their jobs. While the focus primarily may be on proprietary brands, OEM can contribute anywhere from a few single-digit percentage up to as much as half of annual revenue. BMJ Industries UAE The United Arab Emirates have matured into quite the hub for tobacco products manufacturing owing […]
Read MoreCOVID-19 is Contaminating the Sustainability of Supply Chains
Emaan April 5, 2020 No Comments
The recent COVID-19 outbreak has popularised the term ‘supply chain management’ due to the unprecedented, rapid and devastating effects that such a pandemic may cause for supply chains that literally keep society functioning. For example, around 95% of the most powerful American companies have reported significant disruption to their supply chains due to the coronavirus pandemic. How to ensure that key supply chains – such as those related to healthcare and food – are able to cope in this situation is now a familiar preoccupation for the Government, the media and general society. Supply chain management is concerned with ensuring that goods and services can flow from suppliers to end-users, transforming raw materials into the products and services that society values the most, ensuring that customers’ needs are met. Domestic Supply Chains rely on nation-wide processes, suppliers and manufacturing; while Global Supply Chains tend to be much more exposed to […]

Read MoreThe Impact of Maintenance Operations On Supply Chain Management
Hizbullah Shoukat February 14, 2019 No Comments
We all know how delays in any part of the supply chain can cause significant problems and incur additional delays among the rest of the supply chain. One thing that is often overlooked but plays a major role in keeping the supply chain from crumbling down is maintenance management. In one way or another, you can connect maintenance activities with every stop in your supply chain. Be it transportation, production, or storage, a failure of one maintenance team can be felt throughout the supply chain. In that light, let’s explore this idea into more detail. Transportation Be it moving raw materials to a warehouse or moving finished product to the consumer, transportation is an essential part of every supply chain. For this part of the chain to work without any hiccups there are a lot of maintenance work that must be done behind the scene. First, if […]
Read More9 Types of Maintenance: How to Choose the Right Maintenance Strategy
Hizbullah Shoukat June 1, 2017 No Comments
Across industry, many definitions are used when it comes to the different types of maintenance. It can quickly get confusing when people talk about preventive maintenance, condition based maintenance or predictive maintenance but actually have something else in mind than you do. Some people get very excited about these definitions and can spend a lot of time on for example disagreeing with what is and what isn’t preventive maintenance. Let’s not do that, instead, I’ll offer you my view of the different types of maintenance and more importantly, when to use them. 9 TYPES OF MAINTENANCE: FROM PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TO CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN As far as I am concerned terminology is not important. Other than making sure we are talking about the same thing. If what I consider to be condition-based maintenance you call predictive maintenance that doesn’t really matter. As long as we can sensibly talk about […]
