Its Time for a Paradigm Shift?

Despite today's unprecedented challenges there are still many opportunities for properly prepared companies to thrive in a slowing economy. Long-term success is founded on being able to manage during good and bad times, and short-lived poor performance can wipe out years of progress made during the good times.

'Lean' is a way of thinking about how information and products move through your business process. The 'Lean way' of thinking is to keep jobs moving continually within the production system, constantly adding value without stopping - this is called flow. In order to achieve flow, waste must be eliminated from every activity - customer enquiry all the way to delivery. There are seven major wastes typically found in most print shops:

Heidelberg has a tool called the Manufacturing Audit that takes the methods and techniques of 'Lean Manufacturing' and applies them to production and business processes. The aim is to deliver better value for your customers, create business and manufacturing processes that are responsive, efficient and ensure your organisation manages its total costs and secures the best ROI possible to stakeholders. 

Heidelberg adds value through solutions such as these beyond our technology. We may not be able to increase sales but we are able to help you implement initiatives that reduce operational costs, increase capacity and improve efficiencies and generate higher margins.

Combine that with your push to increase sales and this would provide a much greater and positive impact for your organisation.

Our world is changing and we are witnessing historic times. The more you can work on improving your current processes, the stronger your organisation will be to take full advantage when the good times return.

Unnecessary waste can represent more than 45% of the activities within a process….isn't it time to stop the waste?
