Reducing Print Costs<br />
To manage workers’ compensation claims most efficiently, Labor and Industries turns<br />
paper documents into computer files. However, <strong>the</strong>re are some occasions (such as a<br />
court case) when a paper copy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se documents is essential. Because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> way<br />
our computer system was set up, when a paper copy was needed, it was usually<br />
most practical to print <strong>the</strong> entire claim file. This wasted paper, ink and staff time to<br />
create and sort documents that weren’t needed.<br />
Now <strong>the</strong> computer system is programmed to print paper copies <strong>of</strong> needed documents<br />
by type or time period.<br />
<strong>Results</strong><br />
! Annual paper savings <strong>of</strong> $2,900.<br />
! Annual printer ink savings <strong>of</strong> $7,000.<br />
! 3,250 staff hours saved by not having to sort through and discard unneeded<br />
copies.<br />
