Flood Opens Door to Redesign for Queens College Shop
"The flood took away all those roadblocks and all those reservations," he notes, allowing the in-plant to make a fresh start. With the help of some "invaluable advice" from the in-plant's Konica Minolta representatives, Barnes says, the in-plant completely redesigned its operation, turning what had been a paper storage area full of outdated stock into its main production facility. Now, all the digital machines are together in one area, along with the monthly supply of paper they will need. This has eliminated lengthy trips to the paper warehouse and greatly increased productivity.
