A digitized supply chain allows manufacturers to quickly change production mix and volume

The beauty and cosmetics industry is becoming more regulated, which has an impact on both product formulation and the supply chain. Product expectations are rapidly rising in emerging markets. Manufacturers must reduce time-to-market for new product introductions and improve production flexibility and efficiency to enable individualized mass production.

To achieve this, manufacturers need a digitalized supply chain that allows them to quickly change production mix and volume, as well as software applications that are scalable and flexible enough to streamline and optimize all R&D-related processes and align them with manufacturing. The platform should keep cosmetics formulation development in line with quality and regulatory requirements. The seamless integration and alignment of R&D and manufacturing data and processes significantly speeds up the transition of final product designs to mass production.

Develop sustainable product design using digital twins

In recent years, the effects of manufacturing, packaging, and shipping consumer products have become more complex. Manufacturers are being forced to reconsider how they produce and package products in response to increasing regulations and consumer concerns. Consumers expect product packaging to inform them about the product's composition and environmental impact, and an attractive package is no longer enough. As brands adopt new methods of producing sustainable products, they will face new challenges. Product designers must maximize material use, take advantage of modern manufacturing capabilities, and deliver the environmentally friendly products that customers expect.
