Fehlentscheidungen bei Produktionssystem-Wahl mangels Datensicht - suboptimales Offset/Digital-Routing
Definition
Search results highlight that 'Conventional methods of managing print jobs and controlling their production make it increasingly difficult to keep track of the sheer number of jobs, assign them to the appropriate output system in an orderly and logical sequence, and route them profitably through production.' Manual prepress lacks visibility into machine costs and utilization. Prinect Touch Free 'automatically determines the ideal printing process, whether offset on a Speedmaster press or digital printing on a Jetfire 50 or Versafire' – indicating current manual routing is suboptimal.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated 3-7% margin loss on short-run jobs due to suboptimal routing; typical margin loss €200-€500 per job × 5-10 suboptimal routing decisions/month = €12,000-€60,000 annually
- Frequency: Recurring daily in job scheduling; acute during mixed-product runs
- Root Cause: Prepress managers lack integrated job costing data and real-time machine utilization visibility for optimal cost-based routing decisions
