Reducing Inventory With POD

As a POD shop, Unisys never gets orders for quantities of 100, or even 25. Rather, Gabbana says about one-third (34 percent) of the in-plant's work is "quantity of 1," with the remaining two-thirds split between five or less and 15 or less.

While Gabbana credits much of the in-plant's success to its POD and e-bookstore capabilities, he points out that the importance of color management shouldn't be overlooked.
