Card issuers who manage their inventories efficiently and accurately enjoy lower production costs, fewer security issues, shorter cycle times / turn-around time and greater overall productivity. In order to maintain a productive and profitable operation, card issuers must carefully monitor the status of every active job and retrieve precise step-by-step information about the job or process.

Given the cost-sensitive nature of the card production process, issuers must be able to identify bottlenecks in the process and make subtle changes to help minimize costs, maximize efficiency and establishing controls. Controlling the manufacturing process is also important from a process security standpoint, especially when dealing with financial cards. The ultimate customer-the final cardholder-demands speed, accountability and value. To meet these demands in a highly competitive environment, card issuers must have an intimate understanding of, and complete control over, their card issuance manufacturing processes.
