On Thursday April 8th, Lake County Press, Inc. Waukegan, IL., participated in a print certification trial conducted by Graphic Measures International, LTD. (GMI) (Wayzata, MN).
GMI has been contracted to qualify print suppliers for the in store packaging arm of a Minneapolis bases retail organization. The objectives of the program are to provide the organization with a listing of qualified vendors while:
- Improving Consistency of Brand Packaging
- Improving Timing and Shipping
- Management of Process
- Continuous Quality Improvement
- Actively Involve Vendors and Suppliers
GMI evaluated all phases of the production process including Prepress, Plating, Commercial Print and Bindery. These four categories were then measured against five criteria: Documentation, Maintenance, Operator Capability, Performance, and Training. In a conversation with LCP plant manager, Dan Murphy, it was stated, "It's not just the equipment that makes a great company, It's the people behind the scenes that make it an excellent organization". Furthermore, the auditor stated he has never had a company do as well as LCP did on the print test.
The day culminated with LCP receiving FULL CERTIFICATION. For more information please contact your LCP Sales Representative.
