NASA Finds Down-to-Earth Savings

Productivity Gains

Very significant gains in productivity have already been seen. Turnaround time has been cut from weeks to days, and from days to hours. For example, production of one NASA book previously took up to 46 hours; it now takes 12 hours. Another book that took 203 hours to print now takes 24 hours. Jobs that took 10 days before can now be done in one day, for productivity gains of 90 percent over the traditional offset systems.
