This week I wanted to talk about rules, you might be thinking boring topic, but in print on demand, that’s not the case, it’s the difference between make it up as you go along manufacturing and beautiful repeatable efficient processes. And at ZenSmart we’ve taken this concept to the next level, and in many ways we view our platform as being a business rules engine. Every action in your factory is governed by a rule, and what sets us apart is how we handle those rules. The rules are static or inflexible, they’re dynamic and adaptable. Things like queuing, batching and imposition can vary by time of day, day of the week, they can differ by exceptions, by product options, order count, media type and even apply Boolean logic. And this flexibility allows you to refine your manufacturing to the finest level, ensuring that the best methods are always in play, and it means that whoever’s on duty is operating according to those rules. And by expressing best practice as rules, you ensure consistent high quality production at the lowest of cost and the highest of profit. If you’re interested in learning more about how we can transform your operations using these rules library, reach out, we’d love to talk with you about it.
