Abstract

ABSTRACT A U.S. printing company successfully implemented a team-based variability reduction methodology to enable operations teams, primarily pressmen and bindery operators, to establish standard processes, identify and eliminate sources of variability, establish the daily disciplines necessary to sustain the productivity improvements over time, and create an environment to facilitate step-change productivity improvement through Six Sigma projects.
