Manuelle Etikett-Verifizierung und Time-to-Market-Verzögerung
Definition
Product launch timeline: (1) Product team requests label design (Day 1), (2) Design mockup sent to QA for compliance review (Day 2–3), (3) QA manually checks 20+ compliance points against LMIV against mockup images/PDFs using paper checklist, (4) Email feedback to designer with corrections (Day 5–7), (5) Rework cycle 1–2 times (Day 10–14), (6) Final approval (Day 15–20). During review, QA staff unavailable for other tasks. If 20 products/year in pipeline, and each review = 8 hours, that's 160 hours/year. Meanwhile, product cannot enter production until label approved, risking missed retail shelf dates (seasonal products: strawberry jam must be on shelf by May).
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 40–80 hours/month manual verification (€1,200–€2,400 in auditor cost); 5–10 day time-to-market delay per product (estimated lost sales: 2–5% if product misses peak season = €2,000–€10,000 per SKU).
- Frequency: Continuous; 4–8 new SKUs per year; full portfolio review (100+ SKUs) every 2 years.
- Root Cause: Label designs created in design systems (Adobe InDesign) disconnected from compliance database. No automated font-size/allergen checking. QA relies on manual visual inspection and paper checklists. No version control; design iterations not tracked.
