Why Paper Mills Lose Millions Without Realizing It and How Kraft Paper Samadhan Stops the Silent Waste

Running a paper mill today is tough. Raw material prices move every month, customers expect faster deliveries, and competition keeps increasing. But the biggest hit to profitability often isn’t visible. It hides inside day-to-day operations trim waste, odd deckle planning, and inefficient reel management.

These small losses across shifts, machines, and orders slowly turn into crores of wasted revenue every year.

The Silent Loss: Trim Waste and Poor Deckle Planning

Most paper mills struggle with the same issue: trim loss during cutting.
When deckle planning isn’t optimized:

• Good paper turns into scrap
• Machine time gets wasted
• Order planning becomes messy
• Yield drops without anyone noticing

Imagine improving yield by thousands of tons a year without buying new machines.
That’s exactly what smart deckle optimization delivers.

How Kraft Paper Samadhan Fixes These Hidden Problems

Kraft Paper Samadhan is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, designed specifically for kraft paper manufacturers. It goes beyond a regular ERP and acts as an intelligent operating system for your mill. Here’s how it solves the biggest sources of wastage:

1. Deckle Optimization: Reduce Trim Loss and Increase Yield

Problem: High trim waste during cutting reduces margins.
Solution: The Deckle Optimization Engine calculates the best cutting combinations using reel width, order size, GSM, and customer specs.
Results:

• Less trim waste
• Higher yield
• More orders completed on time

A small planning change leads to a big difference in profitability.

2. Smart Reel Planning and Aligned Production

Problem: Unplanned scheduling causes downtime, slab loss, and frequent changeovers.
Solution: Intelligent reel and production planning aligns orders with machine cycles.
Results:

• More stable production
• Better machine utilization
• Fewer interruptions

Your machines run smoother and deliver more output per shift.

3. Integrated Procurement & MRP: No More Delays

Problem: Late raw material planning slows down production.
Solution: MRP automates planning and the RFQ process ensures transparent vendor management.
Results:

• Zero stock-outs
• Controlled costs
• Smooth production flow

Your supply chain becomes predictable instead of reactive.

4. Real-Time Dashboards: Full Visibility, Zero Guesswork

Problem: Disconnected systems create blind spots.
Solution: Role-based dashboards show live data on inventory, production, orders, and dispatch.
Results:

• Faster decisions
• Improved on-time delivery
• Better customer trust

Everyone sees what matters, exactly when they need it.
