Workflow Improvements Bring ‘Super Efficiency’
• Procurement processes are coordinated with suppliers and the suppliers’ order fulfillment processes.
• Common data repositories eliminate duplication of effort, time and cost while providing higher levels of service.
• The Web is used as a common business tool.
While no single tool or software package will transform a service provider into a super-efficient organization, achieving super efficiency will provide the printing facility with cost benefits and act as a market differentiator. Achieving super efficiency should be the top priority of any facility, as failure to do so puts the organization at a higher risk of evolutionary extinction.
