自从制版工作开始由电脑协助生产以来,效率的确比以前提高了不少。以往需要用几个人的拼小版工作,现在只要一个人便可以完成。人工减少了、成本节省了,利润也自然提高,并且在转用电脑生产的初期,对手不多,制版厂都能尝到电脑制版的甜头。 不过电脑制作也同时带来一些新问题,由于生产管理变得比以前复杂,稿件容易出错,因此重做的比例大为增加。未能成功建立“防错管理”的制版厂,在日趋激烈的竞争情况下,很容易因为无法控制成本而削减了利润,甚至最终由盈转亏。某些曾盛极一时的制版公司,就是因为这个原因而陷入长期的艰苦经营。 Since the plate-making work began with computer-assisted production, efficiency has indeed improved a lot. In the past, it was necessary to work with a small number of people. Now only one person can complete it. With the reduction of labor, cost savings, and the natural increase in profits, there are not many rivals in the early days of switching to computer production. The plate-making factory can taste the sweetness of computer-making. However, computer production also brings some new problems at the same time. Since the production management becomes more complicated than before, the manuscript is prone to errors, so the proportion of redoing is greatly increased. A plate-making factory that has failed to successfully establish “error-prevention management” will, under the increasingly fierce competition, easily cut its profits because it cannot control costs, and will eventually turn from profit to loss. Some of the most prestigious plate-making companies were caught in a long-term and difficult operation for this reason.
