The Sirivatana Interprint Company has received more "Asian Print Awards" and "Thai Print Awards"
than any other company in recognition of our accomplishments. Nevertheless, in the drive for continual
improvement, they realized that they had to implement JDF in order to increase the productivity of
their company. Most of the work related to administration, report making and coordination was done
manually. Due to this, there was always a risk for a large amount of errors, losses and delays in the
workflow process. The procedures that our company followed did not meet the industrialized standard
and were not suitable for an operation of our size. The installed software applications were very poor, did
not fit the core business and were not supportive of the company as a whole.
The Sirivatana Company had grown exceptionally fast and because of this, it was not functioning as well
as it could have been. Many employees were struggling just to push their customer's job through each
step of the operation. If they ever wanted to work with the JDF standard, they would have to change
drastically, planning out a workflow that would increase the efficiency of the entire company.
Clearly they had to make a variety of changes to achieve a real JDF workflow. Unfortunately, with no
effective computer systems to automate or link the company's functions, they were unable to improve.
Most of our problems were caused by a lack of coordination in different departments, the inability to
communicate between them, and manual data entry without a common database. The implementation of a
JDF workflow and MIS software was the only way to sufficiently increase our productivity. |

Their old workflow was not structured
with an MIS. Information had to be
manually gathered, analyzed,
transported and communicated manually
by employees called "manual traffic
teams". Since the introduction of the
new JDF workflow, these "manual
traffic teams" have been eliminated. The
HIFLEX MIS transfers job information
directly into Prinergy. Jobs move faster,
are more accurate, and easily travel
throughout the various departments of
the company. |
