The Ultimate Guide to Lean Manufacturing
Optimus’ Ultimate Guide to Lean Manufacturing explores how Lean principles—centered on eliminating waste and enhancing value—can revitalize the print industry, improving profitability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Originally applied in automotive manufacturing, Lean was introduced to UK print via Vision in Print. Optimus helped lead this effort, embedding Lean into its MIS software to help printers streamline operations, track KPIs, and improve real-time decision-making. The guide emphasizes that Lean is a company-wide transformation, not a quick fix, and highlights significant gains in productivity and profit among print companies that adopted Lean practices consistently.
