Five strokes to help you increase the productivity of the printing shop

Almost every printing company is using different devices, and the age of these devices is also different. This means that we can improve the productivity of the printing shop through various methods.

1. Set a benchmark for the press

Choose a job you do every month, record its job preparation time and related production parameters, such as the production speed of the printing press, start-up loss, and the number of times the blanker is washed down. In addition, the cause and time of each downtime must be recorded. Of course, the waste of paper and the use of materials must also be documented. It is best to allow every class of workers to record the situation of the press when they change classes. This will tell whether our production efficiency has improved.

2. Clean the printing workshop

Implement 5S production management system and strictly abide by all regulations. But before you begin to implement this plan, you must clean up your office.

3, require equipment manufacturers to check and repair the problems of the printing press

This may require some costs, but are you willing to let your own presses produce with bad parts? If you measure the productivity of the press after replacing the new part and compare it with the results of previous tests, you will notice a noticeable improvement.

4, to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees
Employees always have strange ideas and suggestions. Listen carefully to their freshmen and try to adopt their ideas – even if you are not optimistic about their ideas.

5. Implementation of accountability

If you have taken the above-mentioned measures and some employees' productivity is still not improving, then you can consider making everyone's work efficiency public. After all, no one wants to lag behind other colleagues.
