In the process of preparing optimization projects for the printing industry , that is in a constant stage of development, the employees competence requirements have already now drastically changed and will change even more in the future. Different new technology trends often introduce a misleading image of where the printing industry is moving. In order to secure the sustainability of printing industry, we should introduce the most important possibilities for future production already in the

... ly stage of industry developments. This white paper will introduce key-points, trends and some critics how companies understand the workflow process standardisation, employees training goals how to apply the standardized manufacturing processes and as successful end of the standardisation project, PSO certify their manufacturing process as a proof of manufacturing quality excellency. Some of the EU member states printing industries, due to either economical reasons, mislead propaganda or an insufficient competence level cannot enable the standardization projects for the industrial manufacturing, to implement the Total Quality Management, 6 Sigma and ISO standards based quality programs on a higher level. Often, due to the lack of modern manufacturing theory and competency subjects at VET or HEI, the employ-ee's trainings for the 5S, LEAN-manufacturing theories will start only at industry, then the personal characteristics are already established for printing -, bindery-, etc. operators. To establish a proper education that also supports the industry management theories, it is recommended to join the forces of different countries with an aim of bringing more young people into the VET and HEI of Graphic Industry and to train already young specialists to modern manufacturing theories. If we can, all together, improve the existing curriculums with industrial manufacturing theories, then we will not spend double resources, but supporting each other's efforts, we can keep VET, HEI and printing industry sustainable. This paper we will describe some examples from undersign experiences, how to implement at printing industry the standardized workflows and quality control routines. Based on field experiences we have to look inside the ISO-12647-2(2013) requirements and printing industry quality methods:
