Orders at my print shop are always late — client says 'deliver on Monday' but I deliver on Friday — is the planning wrong, or is capacity insufficient?

Professional advice: Do process planning. Define the duration for each stage, tell the client. Good luck.

bro this is nonsense and i thought so too but then it turned out to be very simple. don't bother.

bro youre gonna win this job! do it this way and in 6 months youll be raking it in!

Statistics: If you hire workers, costs increase by 40%, but output can increase by 60%. Net: +20%.

It's impossible to solve the problem with words. Go, do it, fail, learn. That's the way.

To do this job: 1) Ask the client. 2) Get the answer. 3) Do it. Easy.

I agree.

Noted, thanks.

Correct in theory, but it doesn't work that way in practice. When making a decision, also write down the cost of reversal.

If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

let me share what happened to me; it might be useful but everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

i'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

Same here.

Looking at it as a process, the picture changes. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Yes, that's exactly how it is with print shop production planning. Don't enter any agreement without an exit plan.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

You're right. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.

Could you elaborate on that? If you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're going this route, sort this out first. Finding a new customer is more expensive than keeping an existing one.

Proven by experience.
