Heatset Full web

2/2 double web or 4/4 single web. How many people do you have run it?

 

[HecTiK]

1st op, 2nd op, and a helper or two, depending on if the auto stacker works or how fast we runnin.

 

[printsha]

1 Operator for ink / water adjustment, 1 operator for Registration & folding adjustment,1 unit attendent for checking the ink levels & fountain solution level, if manual. 1 reel stand operator depending upon the speed of the press & diameter of paper roll used for printing. 1/2 helper is required for stacking the bundles.

Three, both case scenarios. They will earn their money.

 

[couriergraphics]

4 man crew
1 operator
1 2nd man (register&web control)
1 feeder
1 at delivery.

use 3 man both case scenarios you want to be lean and mean these are tough times

One thing to consider is who will run the press when, not if, someone calls in sick, goes on vacation, gets arrested, etc? A bare bones crew leads to these kinds of problems.....

I totally agree with you about 3man having problems with absentism etc etc thats why when the management wanted to do away with 4man crews...... I talked them into crosstraining the two extra men I had left from my double shift operation to run sheetfed or work in bindery, warehouse etc etc now when somebody drops out I have them covered..... I have 6men now that are capable of running 2,4,8/c sheetfed presses and still run my m200 4/c and hanscho 5/c it took a couple years but my flexibility in the pressroom is enourmous I can handle anything they throw at us......I love my job....... thanks steve
