Graphic arts supervisors face a vast array of managerial issues every day. In a down-to-earth tone, Merit’s “how-to” guide to production management explores this broad range of familiar problems (from hiring good supervisors and training to delegation, clear communication, and handling grievances) and provides practical ways to deal with them. Beyond its look at the traits, roles, and dilemmas faced by supervisors, this primer offers ways for production supervisors to become better at their jobs and help upper management enhance the role of their supervisors.
Don Merit is a nationally recognized consultant in printing management, production, and estimating, and is a contributing editor to American Printer magazine.
