What does Agility in Manufacturing mean? (Video)

In print-on-demand, agility isn’t just a cute marketing phrase —it’s a key capability. The more products, workflows, and options you support, the more critical agility becomes. This week, Andrew, explains how true agility allows seamless workflow shifts, minimizing disruption and cost.

This week I want to talk about agility. What’s that got to do with print-on-demand? The bigger the product range, the larger the product options, the greater the workflow supported, the higher the requirement for agility. Why? The more pathways your workflow has, the more likely it is that something’s going to go wrong, and then that means you need the systems and processes to recover gracefully. Now, agility is the ability to dance across different workflows across different machines with elegance so that little or no disruption occurs to getting the work done. So say you normally print on a roll-fed device and you need to swap to a sheet-fed device, or maybe your corner goes down and you need to move a batch to DTF. If those situations happen, then switching workflows should be as simple as a mouse click. And if you can do that, then you have achieved agility in print-on-demand workflow automation. And we build a platform that can do this. So if you’d like to know how you can bake agility into your processes, then reach out, speak to us, we’d love to talk with you about it. .
