This document outlines a three-stage plan for long-term improvements in a pre-press department. The first stage involves updating job descriptions, implementing performance reviews, and standardizing training procedures. The second stage has employees submit improvement ideas, implements the ideas in an action tracker, takes before/after photos of improved areas, and updates audits and visual standards. The third stage continually monitors KPIs and procedures using the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) model to further improve efficiency and sustainability in the department.
