In 2016, WAN-IFRA did a benchmarking e-KPI ‘s for newspaper production, where a total of total of 31 printing plants across India had participated. In continuation of the previous benchmarking project, WAN-IFRA proposed an extension project “Benchmarking Newspaper Production KPI“.

 This benchmarking project will focus on 15 high prior newspaper production KPI‘s with newly added KPI‘s like Capacity utilization, OEE, Inventory, Renewable energy, Printed waste, Direct variable Consumables efficiency, Print finish and will help production plants to assess their own manufacturing efficiency and compare with other similar production setup and print sites. Existing participant will also get the opportunity to compare their previous benchmarking.
