An interesting article by Constantine Goulimis in the International Paper Board Magazine

Constantine Goulimis has been involved with the paper industry since 1982, writing one of the first algorithms for trim optimisation, which formed the basis of his Ph.D. from Imperial College.

Goulimis has recently joined Tietoevry and he was previously working at Greycon as the founder and CEO.

He has extensive experience in projects with some of the smallest and some of the largest companies in the packaging sector, in more than 40 countries and has seen both successes and some embarrassing failures.

Reel stock analysis

Many packaging companies need to keep paper inventory at their secondary (corrugating, converting,…) plants. This inventory is typically in reel format, usually in multiple different widths for each grade/basis weight in order to minimise trim losses at the secondary operation.
