Melville, NY - SPENCERMETRICS LLC, the leading provider of real-time, multi-vendor Press Management systems, has announced a goal-setting update to the spencermetrics® connect® system. Users now have the ability to set production targets and track actual print volume against those targets. A Key Performance Indicator in the planning and success of any business, production goals have a direct impact on business profitability and competitiveness.

Production goals are one of the toughest business systems to get just right and spencermetrics, with the free addition of the connectProduction Target module, has simplified the setting of benchmark goals and monitoring production progress. Managers can now easily set a production goal for each of their connected devices and the system will automatically track their progress in real-time.

The connect system monitors both GOOD and WASTE prints, thus providing an informed calculation of the number of acceptable, saleable pages produced in relation to the set production target. This data can be provided to the shop estimator for verification of estimation assumptions and for improvement on those estimates that turn out to need adjustment. connect helps users in setting goals, monitoring progress, and in being aware of actual productivity versus budgeted productivity.

Production Target users will also be able to examine their historical production performance, selecting any desired time periods during which they had the system operational. This allows for evaluation of factors such as seasonal workload trends, the impact of equipment changes, personnel factors, and more.

The Production Target update will be featured at the Dscoop conference being held in Phoenix, Arizona, March 1-4, 2017. Attendees are invited to experience real-time demonstrations of the connect system at booth #1224, where spencermetrics is proud to be a returning Bronze Partner.
