Printing Production Management |
 |
A printing company’s financial success is probably most influenced by those decisions related to production activities. Production employs most of the firm’s personnel and requires, by far, most of its capital investment.
Printing Production Management provides a systematic treatment of the problem-solving aspects of production management that are so critical to efficient production and company profitability. Author Gary G. Field draws upon his unique combination of printing production experience—and university studies in quantitative analysis—to provide problem-solving insights into such areas as:
• Plant capacity planning
• Equipment investment analysis
• Digital press scheduling strategies
• Layout planning techniques
• Production scheduling dynamics
• Inventory optimization
• Quality process analysis
The production problem-solving techniques presented here draw from the analytical methods used in finance, accounting, and industrial engineering disciplines. Worked examples and practice problems help develop the skills needed for reaching both long-term strategic production decisions and efficient day-to-day manufacturing solutions.

Process Controls Primer |
 |
Printers have always had to deal with issues such as “Why is the color so inconsistent on these printed sheets?” and, “The color on the press sheet doesn’t match the proof.” However, the only way to reproduce color more accurately and consistently is by applying process controls. The chapters in this Process Controls Primer break down the various production steps so you may analyze your production workflow and identify problem areas and their causes. By making the processes, tools, and measurements defined here a part of your workflow, you will gain more control of the entire color reproduction process.
