Flexibility has created complexity

Flexibility has created complexity

Print on demand made everything more flexible and capable but this has exponentially increased complexity.

Tens of production jobs per day have become hundreds or many thousands, the countless variations in product styles and substrates require tens of thousands of distinct product-workflow combinations. 

Simple, logical manufacturing lines have become convoluted.

As a result, many secrets remain hidden within the day-to-day production cycle. Secrets of:

  • waste and duplication, 
  • inefficiency and rework, 
  • pockets of exemplary performance alongside areas of sluggishness, 
  • and unknown details of margin and pricing.

That means there is cost that is buried in every print on demand operation.
