Reducing Labor While Increasing Productivity in Finishing
The discussion targets two specific projects within the group. First is the direct mail operation where they increased letterfold production throughput 3+ times original processes, with letters as the primary product. Second was the automation of a multi-up and multi-cut notepad type product which increased production throughput 3+ times original processes. Because they are competing in a tight labor market they must focus on areas of the production cycle that have high maintenance and high labor . They use a consultative approach and move on project that have a payback of 2 to 3 years.
