Abstract
Packaging systems of the furniture industry have become very complex because of the large variety of products, the short product life cycles and the small batch sizes. At the same time the competitive pressure grows and the companies are forced to find weak points in order to optimize their packaging system. There are a lot of well known methods for analyzing production or logistical systems in general, but no one for packaging systems. This paper presents a general model of a packaging system in the furniture industry for the first time. The model contains a value stream analysis on its packaging system level. Additionally, two more detailed levels are introduced: the packaging process level and the packaging item level.
