Diversity defines photo in
on-demand manufacturing.
From books to cards, calendars to t-shirts, magnets to canvas the products demand a myriad of different skills, substrates, equipment and workflow.
The sheer number of combinations means that maintaining precise perfection in how goods are manufactured at scale is challenging.
Equipment fails, staff issues arise, demand fluctuates and the mix of product options and accessories create an incredible level of detail in the manufacturing process.
It is complex and this means that costs can easily slip out of control and productivity decline. Profit becomes the victim.
