Lean, Agile, and Profitable: Using IT to Execute Business Strategy in the Plastic Products Industry

Evolved Media created a white paper for an international software company detailing the benefits of using IT to execute business strategy in the plastic products industry.

An international software company seeking to expand its reach into the plastics industry contracted Evolved Media in mid-2007 to create a concise white paper detailing the changeover of the U.S. plastics industry from a loose network of "mom-and-pop" sole proprietorships into a globalized, multiparty supply chain facing intense competition from low-cost overseas producers. The paper examines how those companies occupying the top quartile of returns on assets and annual growth rate leverage information technology to get to, and stay in that quartile.
