Produce: Winning the Production Race
Print production is more than getting a job to the printer in the same way that a race is not the starting point for a runner. To be successful, the work, the training, goes in ahead of the event including the input process that automates the job onboarding and normalizes files, the management process that captures data to be analyzed to eliminate bottlenecks, and the preparation steps guided by a production map so that everyone understands how jobs move through production.
Winning the production race requires a flexible production environment, with as much automation as possible, to support the growing workloads, shorter delivery timeframes, and increasing requirements for cost control.
