Technological development has brought more control, automation and sophistication to every stage of the label and package printing process. While these advances offer vast opportunities, they also add huge levels of complexity to the management of each project. Severe bottlenecks, job delays, quality issues and shrinking profits are common in print companies that fail to apply the right management solution.
To fulfil the needs of modern label and package printing production, a large number of management information systems (MIS), specialized and niche software solutions and evolving hardware have been developed. While their positive impact on profitability and competitive advantage is undeniable, many have very specific applications. Choosing which is suitable for your operation is a time-consuming and challenging process and getting it wrong can be a costly mistake.
Expert guidance can be found in this book. It is an exploration of MIS and workflow automation systems, aiding the choice and implementing of suitable systems and technologies.
