Tom reports to Purchasing, which is in charge of bidding out large print jobs, so occasionally his boss tells him about jobs that he thinks the in-plant could handle next time. The shop uses a home-grown job ordering system, which Tom demonstrated for me. He also showed me the large paper and ink warehouse the in-plant is fortunate to have nearby, which obviates the need for stacking paper in the shop itself.
