In the book printing, it will cause the damage of paper, consumables and cylinder in the printing and the loss of consumables. In addition, the waste of time, material consumption and the value behavior that resources can not create are also a waste. If the book printing factory wants to reduce waste as much as possible, it must start from optimizing the process. Let's briefly analyze the main points of waste.

 

1. Overproduction


For book printing, the more the quantity, the lower the unit price. If the control is not good, the more the actual production, the more prone to overproduction. Surplus products will not only occupy storage space and production time, but also cause capital turnover difficulties. In other words, they consume the space, capital and human resources of enterprises. So in the process of discharging, the quantity should be controlled reasonably to avoid excessive waste.


2. Stop and wait


Printing plants are most afraid that there is no real-time shutdown, such as equipment failure, too long preparation time for color matching, long waiting time for raw materials, repeated shutdown of color matching, etc. Therefore, the materials are usually prepared before printing, and the final printed documents are confirmed with customers.

3. Unreasonable staffing


For a book printing factory, reasonable personnel arrangement can play the role of talent utilization. When the staff's knowledge, skills, experience and team spirit are not fully utilized, it is also a waste for the printing factory. Sometimes, employees have no sense of responsibility, blindly pursue interests and old ideas, and indulge in office politics, resist new reforms and new ideas.


4. Waste in transportation


After the books are printed, the goods can be transported to all parts of the world through logistics companies. However, it is worth noting that we must find professional logistics companies to ensure that the printed materials are delivered to customers in good condition. If the goods are damaged in transit, we should also bear the responsibility in some trade terms, which is also a waste.
