Fuji Xerox Australia has launched a free Print Production Workflow Audit application for iPad, available from the App store.

The tool is designed to map a printer’s workflow; from job submission through the manufacturing process, through to the final product delivery..

As each step in the workflow is recorded, the time and associated costs are calculated to highlight inefficiencies within the current workflow. It then provides an ROI by estimating the annual savings in time and effort that can be achieved by automating the workflow with Fuji Xerox Workflow Solutions.

“Fuji Xerox Australia’s Print Production Workflow Audit app for iPad is the first of this kind in the world, designed to increase operational efficiencies and help customers reduce unnecessary costs through mapping and analysing workflows, while calculating where inefficiencies can be reduced,” said Peter Brittliff, Marketing Manager for Graphic Communications Software Solutions, Fuji Xerox Australia.

“Run lengths are becoming smaller, and to make money printers need to do more with less. The app provides an insight for print operators, small business owners and other sectors that have high-end print production capabilities, such as tertiary institutions and Government organisations who want to understand where the inefficiencies  exist in their print workflows, and where automation could deliver efficiencies and cost savings,” concluded Brittliff.
