Optimized Print Services Success Story Company Profile: Lufthansa Technik AG, Germany Lufthansa Technik AG (LHT) is a leading independent provider of maintenance, repair, overhaul and modification services for civil aviation. With customised maintenance programs and state-of-the-art repair methods, LHT ensures the unbroken reliability and availability of its customers’ fleets. The 9,000 employees in Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main, Germany, serve about 750 customers worldwide.
Customer’s current situation/challenge In winter 2007, LHT chose Konica Minolta to modernise its entire print output management infrastructure. The comprehensive project embraced the office environment of about 9,000 employees. This corresponds to about 7,000 workplaces at the two locations in Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main. Konica Minolta’s Optimized Print Services (OPS) had to bring transparency and homogeneity to LHT’s print environment while ordering processes were to be integrated and simplified. The project’s goals were to standardise workflows, make administration easier and reduce costs.
Success summary The result of Konica Minolta’s input was a standardised infrastructure with less hardware, easier administration through fleet-monitoring and faster service reaction times as well as lower costs. Before choosing OPS, LHT had 35 makes of output devices from five different manufacturers. Today, it uses only four systems from two manufacturers, including the Konica Minolta bizhub C360 and bizhub C552 with identical panels for high usability. LHT employees now also benefit from standardised printer drivers with graphical user interfaces.
