Does your print unit need a thorough review?
Do you want to grow and develop your range of services and customers? Or is your design and print unit under threat, in danger of being outsourced to a facilities management service?
Do you need to make a business case for investment?
Our in-plant service is designed to thoroughly review and to help validate the effectiveness of an in-plant operation, so that organisations know how to harness and leverage the potential of their in-plant service and so are able to maximum its contribution and customer satisfaction levels. Internal design and print resources are often seen as a cost burden rather than an essential, value-adding profit centre, making a positive contribution to an organisation's service level and development.
Without a clear and convincing business review that benchmarks performance and capability against other external options, an in-house print operation can be under continuous threat of outsourcing. Since outsourcing decisions are based on the assumption of inefficiencies within the existing system, a strategic review of an in-plant operation can help maximise productivity and deliver positive cost and service benefits to your organisation, as well as providing a framework for performance measurement and structured change in a competitive context.
