Our Modular Improvement Programme is tailor-made for all UK printers that employ 25 members of staff or fewer, who are keen to raise productivity and
streamline workflows.
Despite raw material price increases, tax hikes, wage increases etc, most printers continue to face falling prices. Margins are under severe pressure, yet for small printers the problem is to find the time to make changes for the better.
The objective of the Modular Improvement Programme is to implement strong but simple process improvements via a series of 1 or 2 day modules so that companies can afford to release the staff to tackle such challenges.
Spread across a 3 month period, with a pick ‘n' mix format, companies choose the key topics to tackle, from key performance measures and machine efficiency to production planning and layout improvement.
