More than 60 in-plant managers packed into a digital printing seminar at Graph Expo.

By Bob Neubauer

Ricoh’s Greg Cholmondeley urged managers to stress to their upper management how their in-plant is helping the organization’s core business, rather than just stressing how the in-plant saves money, the approach taken by facilities management companies.

Offering a perspective from his work with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota’s in-plant, Loren Schoenzeit advised in-plant managers to listen to customers for clues that it’s time for the in-plant to evolve. If customers are saying it’s easier to outsource printing; if they’re printing more than 100,000 pages a month on workgroup printers; if you see less than six inventory turnovers a year, then it’s time to change. Digital printing is probably the answer.
