Quotes...
"Over-capacity
in the market, the surge of electronic
media, and the competitive pricing environment
are only a few of the underlying issues
buyers and supplies are dealing with
today," says Susan Kelly of Raine
Consulting. "These challenges demand
knowledge of new business methods and
the ability to craft a dynamic and evolutionary
business plan. Technology has increased
the demand for proven ways to transform
the business. The answer is 'Lean Thinking'
in Print Media."
Steven
Schnoll, of Schnoll Media will be one
of the facilitators of the program.
Says Schnoll, "the fundamental
idea behind Lean Thinking... is straightforward
- doing more with less and still making
sure customers get exactly what they
want. Lean is not only a well-accepted
methodology in today's leading supply
chain businesses around the world....it's
a strategic weapon for improving the
bottom line."
Graphic
communication companies, both buyers
and suppliers, that can align the right
technology and systems, with the right
people and the right workflows, using
the concepts of lean, will develop organizations
based on the highest value-add activities
ensuring the highest ROI. These program
teach the Lean concepts to the entire
print media supply chain: from print
buyers, agencies and content creators
to printers, packagers and publishers
