Intermediate Storage

Between the corrugator and converting, mostly a buffer is needed in order to “match” these two processes. During the years, the logistic principle has been changed from “pushing” (corrugator determines the production) to “pulling” (converting determines the production). The functionality and importance of the intermediate storage has been changed also as result of these changes in logistics. Today, a very flexible intermediate storage is necessary to be able to fulfill the obligations of the following production. In general the order length will be shorter all the time and the just in time principle is more a rule than an exception.
