IPMA 2010: A Hot Time in New Mexico
• Jerry Sampson, of xpedx, discussed how he helped Halifax Hospital preserve its in-plant after it had been targeted for closure. By upgrading equipment so the in-plant could print marketing materials, adding online ordering to make the in-plant easier to use, and improving its workflow, the shop was able to save $149,000 a year for the hospital. Only by understanding its costs and calculating the return on investment of new equipment was the shop able to justify this new equipment, Sampson said.
