Ever since the Great Recession in 2008, the effectiveness of monetary policy has been increasingly debated. Central banks in modern economies were forced to find new ways of conducting expansionary monetary policy beyond conventional methods, most notably through quantitative easing and forward guidance, as they were at, or very close to, the zero lower bound of nominal interest rates.

Amid an increasingly unstable global economy, cost-efficiency and elimination of unnecessary expenses are critical for survival in the corporate world. The packaging and transportation of products present potential areas for such expenses and can constitute a significant flaw in the modern supply chain. This report seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges involved in conducting b
