Print production management and standardization

The physique of the printing industry is currently undergoing radical changes. It is gradually being transformed from the manufacturing services industry to the information industry. The equipment in the printing industry is also automated, computerized, and the transformation and innovation are advancing rapidly. The customers of the printing industry are also demanding the printed matter. More and more strict, more and more diverse. In order to respond to changes in the times, how should print operators, print managers, and printers adapt? First of all, we must have the vision of modern people. We should not only rely on experience, inheritance and intuition. We should absorb more management knowledge, technical practices, and new knowledge in science and technology. We should have the ability to use and research and develop electronic, computerized, and information-based production systems. Second, the printer himself should establish a standardized production management system and humane quality control system.

The printing industry is developed from a small number of parts industries. Before the printing industry of the 1980s, the source of its business was mostly indirect. In the recent 10 years, direct business has only gradually increased.

This kind of customer object's evolution, its influence factors, probably has the following five points:
Changes in social structure, including the level of education and the improvement of living standards.
General consumers, the improvement of demand levels, including the printing quality and service quality requirements.
The emergence of service industries includes the rise of media such as intermediary media, publishing industry, and advertising design.
The requirements for intermediary media include product diversification, advanced quality, and refined services.
Changes in the printing industry itself, including the reduction of business projects, the specialization of individual products, etc.

The former printers believe that as long as they strictly adhere to the delivery date, they should not make mistakes. They belong to a category of pure manufacturing, and they only pay attention to the production of internal factories, ignoring the user's ideas and the interaction of external markets; in fact, printing and construction. The requirements are similar, not only to meet the design requirements, but also to be beautiful, practical, and inexpensive. Therefore, in terms of quality requirements, not only must have the manufacturing adaptability, but also the use of fitness. Most of the current printing factories do not have a complete management system, but each factory has more or less the management methods they have learned for many years, and it is impossible to calculate the operating time, quality standards, and cost of each printing product. Clear, so the actual operation time is longer than the standard operation time, and the delivery date is delayed, the quality of the request is also uneven and often returned, and some unnecessary expenses are also frequently incurred and increase the cost; if printing Operators do not review their pros and cons, propose ways to improve management, and do not develop the ability to manage. They will not be able to strictly adhere to the delivery date and lose customers. They will also increase costs and fail to make profits and close down. In fact, standardization of production management is not difficult. It does not require advanced theory and technology, nor does it require huge equipment and financial resources. As long as the operators have the will and determination to work together and work together, slowly establishing the system can be gradually achieved. . I would like to give my opinion on the establishment of standardized implementation steps as follows:

Check the status and find out the cause:
"The idea of ​​reversing without advancing and retreating, knowing that you can make a great deal of improvement" can also be used as a business philosophy. It is necessary to review and improve the situation in order to pursue progress and be sustainable. Each of the workflows, the reasons for the possible errors, are summarized and collected.

Divided into categories, list the fishbone diagram of causality.
Each kind of unhealthy phenomenon has its own factors. According to the order of its occurrence, according to the order, frequency, and severity of its occurrence, it uses its own idioms and methods to sort it out and analyze it. .

Establish production process and work system.
The theoretical production processes are all outlines, and some are not realistic, because each work environment, equipment, and requirements are not the same. Therefore, in typical operations, you should select some typical case experiment analysis at any time and place. There is a system of standard processes and work systems.

Clarify the scope of work and the attribution of responsibilities.
The printing workflow is more complicated than other industries. If the scope of work of each individual is not clearly defined, the responsibility is often pushed to each other in the event of a situation. This not only affects work sentiment, but also reduces work efficiency and product quality. When it is serious, it will result in a return of the item, which will damage the company's image and interests. Therefore, the scope of work and rights and responsibilities should be clearly defined. After the responsibilities are clearly defined, efficiency and quality will naturally increase, and productivity and profit will naturally grow.

The production process is systematic and standardized.
In a modern and diversified society, every person should have the ability to ask for ideas in every matter, and they should also have the magnanimity to accept other people's opinions in order to continue to grow; the same applies to the management of enterprises, and they should be in every kind of work item. In reviewing and improving at any time, the program that accepts the new revision should also absorb new knowledge and propose new ideas at any time. This new program, new technology, new products, new ideas, organizing it and organizing it into a systematic system is standardization.
