2022 Engineering Services Best Practices, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines engineering operations across packaging machinery firms based on PMMI’s triennial survey of member companies, grouped by revenue bands and reported in March 2022. The analysis indicates several focus areas—workforce development and retention, including professional development via seminars, trade shows and classes; knowledge capture and documentation to mitigate retirements and turnover; and digital-tool adoption and version control such as PLM and versioning systems—where emerging patterns show varied maturity across company sizes, and charts highlight comparative benchmarks and strategic trade-offs. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
