Supply Chain Hazards Awareness 3: Shock & Vibration - What are they and why should you care?

When shipping products from one location to another, you want high confidence that upon arrival, the product has maintained its original integrity without experiencing any damage along the way. Shock and vibration hazards are always present in the supply chain.

There are both similarities, and differences in their respective technical definitions. Establishing even a general understanding of those environmental dynamic hazards can help in the design of both robust products, as well as protective packaging.
 
In this webinar, we’ll provide a robust overview of both shock and vibration. We’ll describe their unique dynamic characteristics, and how each can negatively affect packaged product quality and integrity.
 
What we’ll discuss:
•    Definition of Shock
•    Definition of Vibration
•    The sources of those dynamics within the supply chain
•    How to measure and characterize those environmental dynamics
•    The inclusion of those dynamics in industry standard distribution simulation test procedures

Who should attend?
•    Product and packaging design engineers
•    Damage Prevention personnel
•    Supply Chain and Logistics personnel
