Refocusing on Core Services and Lean Manufacturing
Lean manufacturing is the new focus at UC Printing. The in-plant no longer stocks and mixes inks, but relies on its ink vendor to deliver what it needs in 24 hours or less. It also drastically reduced its paper inventory and moved to just-in-time paper ordering.
“We’re trying to get to zero inventory,” Abrahimi says.
