A printing company’s financial success is probably most influenced by those decisions related to production activities. Production employs most of the firm’s personnel and requires, by far, most of its capital investment. Printing Production Management provides a systematic treatment of the problem-solving aspects of production management that are so critical to efficient production and company profitability.
