Operational Excellence is No Longer Optional

By Howie Fenton -One of the highlights from Print 17 were a number of excellent presentations by leading companies who have demonstrated operational excellence. One example was presented during the Print 17 Luncheon by the managers of the Blue Valley Schools’ in-plant.

In this blog, we will define and explain why Operational Excellence is important for in-plants.
