2002 GATF Technology Forecast 1. Printing Industry US Economy and Other Trends
V. Bankruptcy of Post Office Accelerates Decrease in Print Quantity The strategic distribution partner of the printing industry, the United States Postal Service (USPS), is on the verge of bankruptcy both financially and in service. The same situation is in terror. It had existed long before the attack. As a result, the volume of printed mail dropped drastically.
Before the post office became a victim of injuries and scares to the public of the U.S. public, the overall volume of printed matter had been declining due to the gradual decline in the quality of service at the USPS and the successive increase in prices. The use of mail by terrorists has exacerbated the long-term deterioration and chaotic postal conditions.
During the search for anthrax contamination (even if no one found it), people closed the postal facilities and caused public panic. Many printing companies have reported on the "white powder" phone to inquire about the safety of non-toxic spray powder. Some messages have been destroyed and other messages have been converted from mail with envelopes to individual mailer advertisements or postcards. Although the final figures have not yet been calculated, it seems that the sales volume of holiday cards has also declined, and the number of e-mails has increased.
The current practical problem is that the decline in postal status not only affects direct mail printing companies, but also affects various magazines, directories, and general business printing companies. It is estimated that about 55% to 65% of all informational publications are issued and transmitted through the postal system.
This data faces a potential trend of sharp and long-term decline. He influenced the entry of printing process technology and the sale of new equipment.
The early postal chaos of terrorists made printing customers prefer to use cheaper and more timely methods to disseminate information, ranging from various advertisements and free gifts for direct mail products to various products and guidance for customers and potential customers. Materials, including document printing. The convenience and timeliness of e-mail and text messages, and the ability to deliver business documents electronically, have affected the total amount of a type of mail.
The spiral postal and related issuance costs have not only declined but also increased. Moreover, the delivery process is very unstable and unreliable. The damage rate of catalogues, magazines, newspapers and other products is extremely high. The swelling bureaucracy management agency The changes in local conditions have created difficult-to-understand rules and regulations, failed automatic planning, important labor issues, etc. These factors have combined to negatively affect the total printing volume in all aspects. The printing industry is facing a series of serious problems, and some of them have gone beyond the control of printing, partly because many branches of the industry have neglected the important role of distribution partners for many years.
Every time the local tax rate increases, there will be loud cries. Just before the tax increase, the volume of mail has increased. When the tax increases, the volume of mail drops again. In order to reduce postage, the size of the selected paper weight and the final product have decreased accordingly, and the number of pages has also been decreasing. After four to six months, the increase in tax rates was widely accepted, and postal issuance returned to the "new normal state." However, the basic problems of the post office still exist.
The performance of the USPS should serve as a balancing act - on the one hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, providing services. Improving productivity is the crux of these two issues. Although the USPS has invested heavily in automation, it has had little success in terms of actual productivity and service levels.
Over the years, the significant increase in postal processing productivity has come from sharing projects between printing companies and postal services, offering discounts in the process of classification and mail processing. Union Post equips two independent postal departments to distribute emails in order to obtain a return on work efficiency through higher discounts. This is one of the examples of improving the efficiency of postal processing in the execution of printing companies.
In addition to productivity problems, the USPS has been plagued by debt and other economic problems for a long time. The debt has exceeded the total assets and borrowing requirements, and its total debt will reach the statutory limit. As a form of business, the USPS generates real business operations losses, and the terrorist collective action results in the loss as balloonlike.
The post office also faces substantial long-term debt for paying pensions and retirement health benefits beyond annual income. In order to pay for these long-term debts, postal services must create a $4 billion in cash value outside of operating expenses, forcing the USPS to save cash by reducing the total number of workers and freezing the funds spent. It is also predicted that the basic postal performance will continue to deteriorate as economic pressures increase and the USPS strives to enter other business environments to obtain income. With the setting of various business standards, the postal service is completely bankrupt in practical terms.
In addition to cost issues, many postal services also deal with mail processing and delivery issues. The time frame from the entry of a printed product into the postal workflow to the completion of the final transfer is uncertain and irregular. For example, in order to enter the postal workflow and reach two prints at the same address, the time of delivery may vary by several days. Publishers also often complain about the result of "shredded wheat" - tearing and shredding when the product arrives is very serious and the ordering customer will ask for a replacement.
The USPS has worked hard to improve productivity and service, but in the areas of big pictures and service problems, the ultimate effect is minimal. Representative John McHugh, who served on the House of Representatives in government reforms, has drafted an informal postal reform bill. The goal of the McHugh bill is to arrange USPS to operate in a more business-like manner while limiting operational losses and increasing Post efficiency to make up.
Printing companies relying on postal issuance of printed matter need to pay attention to the nuances of postal reform. For most departments in the printing industry, the postal factor may be the most important. In 2002, not only the face of immediate problems but also the long-term impact of print and profit.
Printing companies can promote the association's government events to participate in these activities, participate in the establishment of practical application of the printing company-oriented postal objects, learn how to cooperate with other companies to achieve these goals, to help the future of postal services. In this process, the first step is to resolve the conflicting goals of different printing market sectors and companies of different sizes—or at least agree on a common goal.
Although some printing companies provide postal services on the basis of a loss-free sale that is not profitable or to attract customers, on the whole, providing these services is a profitable and valuable customer service in certain markets. The field is also a powerful weapon for competition. This requires the use of the correct binding plant, address and postal material processing equipment, as well as knowledge of the most modern software and postal related services available under external procurement conditions. But above all, it requires knowledge of postal processing procedures and regulations. It needs to establish a reasonable and reliable working relationship with the local postal workers. In many places, printing companies can establish a working relationship with the local post office through cooperation with the local Postal Customer Councils. Postal customer committees can provide written information and organize local gatherings for printing companies. Considering postal security, GATF is also one of the sources of information. In order to ensure the provision of postal services under the premise of profit, printing companies must treat themselves as technical and knowledge-sensitive businesses and need their own technologies and equipment. In the current unique business environment, postal services can provide business opportunities for printing companies. In the long run, the health status of the printing industry will inevitably be affected by the development of the post office. It's time to get a lot of attention!
