Becoming More Productive … a Roadmap
Add powerful duplexing digital technology to your print operation and
you’re well on your way to breakthrough performance. The question is
how does your print operation measure up? How do you leverage
breakthrough performance to kick your operation into high gear? Start
by identifying your goals and the technology available to meet them.
Determine your strengths and weakness and understand the gaps
between the two. Devise a simple plan of attack to analyze existing
assets and processes, introduce new technologies, and position your
shop to capitalize on the resulting benefits. Ready to get started? Here’s
a short list of what to consider and do.
• Analyze the number and types of jobs you produce, costs
and production requirements, turnaround requirements,
overtime hours, downtime of existing equipment
• Assess your existing processes and practices and identify areas
of inefficiency
• Understand the types of requirements, services, and
capabilities your customers are looking for today or will
want tomorrow. Think variable data printing, tabs, inserts,
and finishing.
• Determine what you need to change or add to improve
productivity
• Look at the equipment you have. If it’s analog, consider tran-
sitioning to digital equipment. If it’s an aging digital print
engine, figure out how to lower TCO and raise ROI by
replacing it with one or two high-powered duplexing
machines that can deliver more productivity for less
• Implement them with document management/workflow
software that automates manual processes and makes it easier
for customers to do business with you
• Train employees to use the systems and processes to their
potential
Summary
In summary, as long as market pressures like consolidation, demands for
immediate response and the erosion of print pages to alternate media
continue, accelerated speed and productivity are essential to every opera-
tion’s success. Applying old solutions and outdated technology to solve
new problems and meet new requirements simply won’t work.
Securing sustainable growth means adopting innovative technologies
like simultaneous duplexing, implementing digital tools like Océ
PRISMA workflow software, and leveraging a technological advantage
to offer customers more services with the responsiveness they expect.
Driving success means driving productivity, which improves customer
satisfaction and loyalty. For commercial print shops this means being
able to achieve breakthrough business performance to open up new
opportunities to grow volumes and expand services. They can produce
more work in less time, expand their service portfolios with high-
demand capabilities that were not practical before, and increase profit
margins by decreasing costs and lowering overhead.
For in-plant print rooms, driving success means having the resources
and horsepower to prevent internal customers from diverting volumes to
departmental MFPs or external providers. It means being able to accel-
erate turnaround, support increasingly complex jobs, and demonstrate
greater value by changing perceptions and transitioning from internal
cost centers to value-added service providers.
In both environments, it’s all about productivity. And the Océ trifecta—
revolutionary Océ Gemini Instant Duplex technology, the breakthrough
Océ VarioPrint 6250 digital duplex printer, and scalable Océ PRISMA
workflow software—are built to empower print providers to think and
perform with breakthrough results. Print On!
