This new WAN-IFRA project aims to help participating printing plants assess their manufacturing efficiency, compare their performance with other similar production sites, identify areas of improvement, take improvement actions and review the results.
At the end of this project, participants could:
- Compare the efficiency of their operations in relation with other printing centres,
- Compare performance between their own branches/printing centres and with other participating companies.
- Find the right questions related to efficiency and consumption.
- Address the bottle necks in the production process and initiate to work on the lacking KPI
- Measure and monitor the performance
- Stabilise and sustain the improvement.
Revise the benchmarking values and targets once in two year.
Below 14 key KPI's are benchmarked for the industry.
