The CRP savings for diaper production were estimated based on experiences of multiple
plants with different levels of CRP ordering by customers. The results of this analysis are shown in
Exhibit 8 and represent the early results of CRP adoption on the production process. Paper product
managers believed that further costs savings could be realized as P&G teamed to better use the
improved information about demand that was available through CRP ordering data. Through
more effective negotiating with vendors and better use of actual demand data for planning and
scheduling, additional savings could be realized in production.
