Pulp Fact, Not Fiction --Dickeson

We think a lot about timing labor on the press, prep, binder or shipping. We have computer systems that concentrate on keeping tabs of every minute of shop labor. We have tables of production standards for the time we think each of those activities will take when we estimate or schedule a job. When we compare the "profitability" of jobs we deduct these "costs." We base our pricing on these guesses of so-called labor costs and standards.
