R.R. Donnelley--Calling the Shots
Pyzdrowski: "Our approach to distribution in recent years, like our approach to other links in the supply chain, has been grounded in the principle of maximizing efficiencies and minimizing redundancies in order to reduce costs. In the case of distribution, we did this with collaboration.
"For example, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is very good at getting materials to the home, but, in the past, we relied on them every step of the way, which tended to drive up customer costs. Since then, we've taken a look at our publishers' needs and objectives, and have worked with the USPS to develop a mail consolidation network where, in some cases, we physically deliver stacks of magazines to Destination Delivery Units, which then deliver them to our customers' readers.
