Three Critical In-plant Trends for 2010
To stay in business, in-plants need to measure their financial performance, improve their productivity and respond to customers’ changing needs.
My presentation entitled "What Makes a World Class In-plant Printer" was delayed because we could not find the handouts. It took about 20 minutes for them to arrive, but it allowed time for everyone to talk about the issues on their minds.
Based on what I heard there, as well as during on-site audits over the last few years, I would conclude that there are three critical trends for in-plants to pay attention to: Sales/Marketing, Finance and Operations.
