Sažetak
Rising number of natural disasters in terms of floods, fire, hurricanes, etc. leads to growing concern in mankind to be more determinative in the sustainable development, i.e. to diminish mankind’s impact on nature. The change in the mindset applies to the whole business and workforce included in the production. Acknowledging the role of the projects in the everyday processes, the concept of sustainable development should be integrated in the way the projects are planned, organized, executed and managed. To some extent print houses have already employed a workflow management system to their business which enables them better control in the execution of their production. Nevertheless, there is need for improvement in the sustainability direction. This paper aims to analyse job planning in a small print house and compare it to the sustainable project principles. Results of the analysis showed that print house often work with external purchase orders where product characteristics are already determined. The production of a product is not treated as a small project with all its aspects (processes included, schedule, material costs, product’s quality). Usual communication is between two neighbouring processes and information about production is often limited to basic data such as time spent on the production. It is visible that implementing project-based job planning in the production workflow could improve production efficiency which will lead to lower impact on the nature. Key aspects should be increase influence in the product definition (size, substrate, technology used) by improving communication with product designers. Include more information about the process execution to enable better planning, increase the process efficiency and lower waste material. In addition, stressing the process efficiency and sustainable production to the employees will bring them on a path of pursuing sustainable development of the company, but using the principles in the everyday life as well.
