Is the chaos caused by your current scheduling costing you up to 20 million in revenue?

THE PRINT SHOP VERSION 21 MANUAL

These types of changes are time consuming to fix through manual scheduling methods, but are streamlined when using software-based scheduling. Other last-minute changes can occur when work takes longer than initially planned, affecting all remaining work-in-progress jobs that have their own individual due dates. Typical changes may include moving a job from one press to another, which requires re-scheduling and a new imposition to accommodate the format change. Any electronic scheduling system must be adaptive to real-time changes occurring in real-time from the production floor and enable users to make last-minute, late-stage changes. Simply put, manual scheduling breaks down when dealing with hundreds of orders per day.īack to top High Growth Companies Schedule ElectronicallyĪn initial schedule, however, only works when all variables are constant and predictable, which are non-existent in printing environments. Growth print service providers (PSPs) averaged $27 million in revenue versus $7 million for those in decline.

There is software that can automate the initial planning for print production whether the demand is for fewer than a hundred, or for thousands or more orders produced per day. It’s 2020-there are better ways to manage an ever-changing print production schedule. All these processes are highly inefficient, a waste of valuable production time, and increase the likelihood errors. Ultimately, all this negotiated and manual updating of critical production information flows down to the operator, who then performs the tasks. There are typically one or more full-time employees responsible for updating customised job tracking spreadsheets and (in many cases) also updating the same information on a physical job board system.

There are daily production meetings that are an orchestrated dance of give-and-take to ensure all departments are aware of any delays and bottlenecks that may impact delivery. Too much time is spent inside of print shops trying to wrangle the production schedule to fit the shop’s capacity while meeting customer due dates or service level agreements (SLAs).
