The aim for this thesis was to develop a proposal of documentation, containing rules and procedures, which Jernström Offset needs to acquire the Certified Graphic Production certification. A fundamental part was to study the material issued by Sveriges Grafiska Mediaförening, to clarify the requirements that must be met to obtain the certification. The recommendations found in the CGP material must also be considered. Based on the requirements and recommendations of Certified Graphic Production, a mapping of the workflows at Jernström Offset was performed. It was done by interviewing employees from different departments at the company, this to get a clear understanding of the operations carried out throughout the production flow and the final quality follow-up. During our reviewing process we found that a number of changes, in terms of working environment and practices, must be made at the company. As a result of this we propose some appropriate actions to be implemented. The documentation was finally written, through the requirements and recommendations of Certified Graphic Production and then applied to Jernström Offset’s work procedures.
