General Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry is a wide reaching and diverse market that
is comprised of many different sectors. Sectors range from food manufacturing
to textile mills and apparel manufacturing through chemical manufacturing,
(which would include the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing segment)
and machinery manufacturing into the high technology manufacturing segments.
Even the printing sector is included in this category. The only thing that really ties
these areas together is the fact that they make goods from raw materials.
One thing that the manufacturing sector has in common as a whole is that it does
produce documents, and many of them are in color. Everything from the product
design phase, through communicating with suppliers and customers, advertising
and marketing, bidding, selling, ordering, shipping and invoicing are all a part
of the manufacturing sector's document world. The manufacturing market also
has a large supply and value chain. Communicating appropriately and in a timely
manner with partners is critical. As with all businesses, the manufacturing sector
also has traditional offi ce functions, such as HR and payroll, accounting, employee
training and general business communications.
Many manufacturers utilize in-plant facilities and many have large budgets.
The use of color is also growing within in-plant facilities. Some also in-source
printing. Keep in mind that some in-plant managers also oversee offi ce fl oor
printer/copier procurement.
