Boise Cascade and Chen Yi Tap Adalis to Help Improve Productivity and Performance in Corrugated Manufacturing Plants; Recent Projects Underscore Growing Momentum of Adalis Global Consulting Services.

VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Adalis Corp., a global consulting company, today announced that Adalis has completed technical consulting initiatives for Chen Yi Paper Container Co. of Taiwan and has entered into an agreement with Boise Cascade to identify opportunities for process improvement. Both projects involve equipment audit and process assessment and improvement to help enhance corrugated plant efficiencies in addition to identifying new production capabilities for improved productivity and performance.

Chen Yi contracted Adalis when they realized their new equipment was not producing desired results. According to Chen Yi General Manager, Steve Chung, "Achieving a quality product while adhering to a strict timeline is important. We encountered problems producing triple wall corrugated that could not be resolved internally. Adalis quickly responded to our needs. Within one week of landing in Kaoshiung, Adalis technical specialists helped solve the issues and enabled us to efficiently produce a high-quality triple wall product."

Boise Cascade engaged Adalis to help the company increase productivity in its converting operations in select locations in the Northwest. These efforts involve initial assessment initiatives designed to baseline current performance and continue through process mapping and analysis to the final quantification of improvement.

Adalis delivers comprehensive consulting and assessment services to improve business processes and operating models for corrugated manufacturers, including:

--Audit and Measurement Systems - Adalis technical specialists perform audits on selected machine centers to identify potential areas of improvement based on run speeds, set-ups times, maintenance procedures and quality control.
