The FM Challenge
When there is an economic downturn, companies seeking to cut expenses evaluate services they do not consider among their core competencies such as transportation, food service and the in-plant printing facility. As conditions improve, these services may be re-evaluated and decisions may change, but right now we are witnessing a feeding frenzy as organizations offering replacements for in-house services are contacted, asked to perform evaluations, and considered for taking them over on a contract basis.
Howie Fenton is an independent consultant who focuses on analyzing/benchmarking the performance of printing operations. Fenton helps companies use metrics, best practices and workflow strategies to streamline operations. Call (720) 872-6339 or email howie@howiefentonconsulting.com
