20160103645 | Method For Optimizing The Production Sequence - A method for optimising the production sequences of a plurality of printing orders assigned to a printing system is provided. When multiple printing orders are assigned to a specific printing system, each printing order on its own can be economically produced on the specific printing system, but economically optimal processing of the entirety of the printing jobs to be processed in a defined time interval is not thereby ensured. To increase the efficiency of the processing of a plurality of printing orders, the printing orders assigned to the printing system are arranged in their order and thus their sequence of processing in an automated manner, such that the printing orders assigned to the printing system can be produced in an optimised manner at least with regard to at least one sorting criterion. The method is applicable for sorting printing orders both for print form variable printing methods, as well as for non-print form variable printing methods and also for sheet-fed and/or reel-fed printing systems. | 04-14-2016 |
