Six Steps To Make Your In-plant 
Financially Fit

3. Cost-efficient Growth

Measure work acquired by the in-plant as it relates to total volume and also by category. The in-plant must aggressively capture more work represented by the high-contribution (savings) categories and outsource work that is only provides a marginal contribution. Some industry providers recommend adding alternative services like scanning, signage, social media and digital asset management. Others suggest becoming a marketing services provider. These approaches may not fit into your operations, but you should aggressively investigate the merits and costs of each potential new product or service, and determine whether it has a place in your in-plant's future.
