One of Scandinavians major companies in wood and pulp was investing in a new paper mill machine. The investment was the largest ever in Europe as the paper mill machine was high tech and demanded staff with expertise and high reliability for it’s maintenance.  

MISSION

To select a  production manager, assess staff and create professional and responsible teams.

The management team for the paper mill machine consisted of three individuals, highly qualified technicians with good leadership skills. The workforce consisted of 40 well trained and continuously assessed workers. The target was to get sustainable organisation that could operate very efficiently and without failure.

The assessment started three months before the paper mill machine was delivered and the survey of the performance continued six months after start of production.

DESIGN

The procession managers were selected by TopDec and assessed every months by TopDec. Their engagement in the process was of great importance.

All applicants were assessed by TopDec and the applicants were bench marked to the desired profile. Totally 111 pax applied of the jobs and 40 “gold nuggets” were selected. The training of the workers was performed by guidance of TopDec.

RESULTS

The investment became a success as there were very minor and small halts in the production once the paper mill machine was installed, compared to if this project had not been carried out.
