Printing The Boy Scout Way

To better understand this justification process, and to get an accurate picture of his own print shop's situation, BSA's Mettee attended one of the Unisource/IPMA in-plant workshops in 1999. He says he was shocked at what he learned.

"We analyzed the cost of work printed in-house vs. outside, and found that...we were costing the Boy Scouts money," exclaims Mettee. "The study showed us where our problems were and that our equipment was not being utilized properly. We sold some unneeded equipment, restructured the shop, and developed a much better workflow."
