Problem Statement– Safety observation - employee is too close to moving part– Average Shrink wrap usage per year 139,608 ft. ($20,555)– Risk only one person (contractor) can fix current machine– Current wrapping process reduces productivity (Wrap 4/5
times)– Stretch wrap not secure which creates delivery issues

Solution - New Stretch Wrap Machines
– Safe …does not require operator to lay wrap for 85% of loads
– Can be programmed to wrap different types of loads We will use 3 different settings

maintenance department can fix if needed and will not void the warranty
