Monarch’s PrintFlow scheduling tool has created a more efficient scheduling workflow by reducing idle time and bottlenecks. Jobs with similar properties are grouped together to reduce switchover time. PrintFlow automatically locates the optimal job path based on available equipment, current workload and the status of other job delivery schedules. Each time a proposed change is submitted it provides a new scenario with an impact analysis to see how jobs and customers are affected.
