By focusing on short-run label manufacturing and working cooperatively, Tyson Printing Services is playing an integral role in the success of Tyson Foods, Inc.
The in-plant's percentage still translates into a lot of labels. "We manufactured 782 million labels in a 12-month period throughout 2011," Gayer reports; he estimates average run lengths of about 48,000.
Gayer prioritizes the shop's constant need for speed, efficiency and productivity.
"The food business is very competitive, and time to market is critical, so we do everything we can to give the company an edge," he stresses. "Nobody remembers who came out with the second chicken nugget."
