Not content with what might have seemed perfection, the EJ&E is out to cut in half "housekeeping" expenses which it has already trimmed by 50%.
How NP saves on payroll reporting  p.37
The right equipment and the right system pay off fourfold: the job's simpler, faster, cheaper and more accurate.
They changed rip track operations  p.38
