Knowledge From Numbers?And People

But before you decide what is important, you need to know what resources are available. There are plenty of tools out there. Printing Industries of America and many of the regional printers' organizations put together annual studies about operating ratios. The National Association of Quick Printers and others do pricing surveys. These studies don't come cheaply, and they carry with them reams of extra data that is simply not applicable to our in-plant situations. A lot of times it is less costly to attend a seminar about the study than to buy the actual study.
