Managers Flock To Baton Rouge For SUPDMC
Joe Goss of Indiana University, Jennifer Bowers of Florida State University and Jimmy Robinson from the University of West Alabama led a roundtable discussion of issues and concerns in contemporary in-plant management. Attendees shared several common issues, including the migration of print from offset to digital production, and equipment financing. One problem that seems to be gathering momentum is the use of cell phones and MP3 players by production workers, which several managers noted were increasing in frequency.
