Subject: Binding Schedule Methodogy

Folks,

I saw some very useful posts in the archives how often and when you send
periodicals to the bindery.  However, do any of you have a formalized
methodology for which journal goes to the bindery and when?

Say, you decided to send 10 shipments per year.  So that these shipments
would be equitable and predictable, have any of you developed a
spreadsheet
with how many times a year each journal goes to the bindery and it which
shipment?  Do any of you divide your journal collection into increments
of
the alphabet?  Perhaps A-C would go in one shipment, then D-F, etc.?

I'm new to my job, have worked with serials quite a bit, but have never
supervised the bindery part of the operation before.  I am getting the
feeling that I'm expected to produce a "plan" of some sort.

Thanks,
