The FM Challenge
Certain in-plants with high demands for specific products have become efficient enough to lower costs to levels competitive with outside producers. For example, an insurance company in-plant may excel at producing insurance policies and statements. Or a university in-plant may be proficient at printing corporate identity pieces and always keep their presses ready to print them. These in-plants may continue to provide their high-volume competitive services and outsource specialty products with lower demands, such as high-end brochures.
