Where wastage usually hides
Wastage is rarely one dramatic scrap event. It shows up as over-cutting craft paper “just in case”, design paper reserved for orders that never ran, and finished sheets that leave without a clean match to the sales order.
Without a single inventory view across craft paper, design paper, and finished sheets, supervisors cannot see what is already committed to plans versus what is truly free.
Connect plans to stock before you cut
Align sales orders with craft plans first, then pull inventory into the press plan. When planning and stock live in the same system, you avoid cutting paper for designs that are already short — or releasing sheets that were never marked ready.
LuminoPlan keeps craft paper, design paper, and sheet inventory next to production planning so planners see availability while they build lots, not after the press has started.
Verify every sheet at dispatch
Gate verification with barcode or camera scanning closes the loop: only sheets that belong on the order leave, and open quantities update immediately.
That reduces returns, customer disputes, and “mystery shortages” on the floor. Explore inventory and dispatch modules on our Features and Modules pages, or schedule a plant demo.
