Objectives

Identify and classify the main sources of waste generation in the corrugator.
Analyze the technical causes of recurring defects such as delamination and warp (simple or S-warp), formation of bubbles, blisters and wrinkles, and establish correlations with operating variables (temperature, humidity, pressure, adhesive, paper, etc.).
Evaluate the effects of mechanical deviations (leveling, parallelism, eccentricities, misalignment in knives or cylinders) on board quality and process efficiency.
Apply technical diagnostic procedures to detect critical points of productivity loss through component inspection (cylinders, glue unit, belts, slitter, stacker…) and analysis of process parameters.
Establish process controls and inspection routines aimed at reducing specific waste in each functional unit of the corrugator: corrugating unit, double backer, hot plate section, slitter, cutoff, stacker, etc.
Integrate knowledge of paper behaviour, adhesive and operating conditions into operational decision-making to minimise variability and associated defects.
Incorporate continuous improvement methodologies in waste detection, recording and analysis, promoting traceability and agile technical response to recurring issues.

Methodology used

The methodology can be delivered in online and blended formats. The online programme combines recorded video modules with live classes with the instructor, practical case-solving and assessment exams.

During each module, scheduled live online sessions are delivered, covering cross-cutting topics, resolving proposed cases, and giving participants the opportunity to raise questions or discuss specific cases.

Attendance at these sessions is mandatory.
