A New Lease on Life
To increase efficiency and cut costs, Brown University carried out a full-scale reorganization of its Graphic Services department. After adding equipment, and cross-training staff, the Rhode Island in-plant is busier than ever.
Rutledge cross-trained all of her staff on the new equipment so they could move where the work is.
"The prepress staff can operate the Duplo 645, and they are responsible for producing the layouts for this machine," she explains. "Our pressmen can also run both Duplos. Indigo operators can run the DI, and the DI operator will be trained on the Indigo. We need to make the best use of everyone's time, and these cross-training efforts have paid big benefits."
