Udi Arieli, Printcafe's director of product management for CIM and Web products, challenged printers in his keynote address to change their ways of working and embrace modern manufacturing methods.

He explained the Theory of Global Optimization (TGO), which stresses the importance of clearly understanding process constraints, bottlenecks and throughput that dictate the performance of any printing plant. According to Arieli, process synchronization and optimization, enabled by a dynamic scheduling system, can help printing companies achieve greater profitability.
