Posten AB gives BTS large order

BTS will develop four different simulations and tools, tailor made with regards to the needs and prerequisites of respective target group. All managers and employees will go through one or more modules during 2005 and 2006.

The program's objective is to achieve the change in attitude and behaviour necessary to increase the rate of operational improvements and to ascertain that the set goals are met.

"Posten Production is well aware that the key to succeeding with such comprehensive change is to achieve a necessary change in the behaviour of managers and employees. It is an incredibly exciting change project that will have Posten and BTS working closely together" says Katrin Fagerberg, BTS.

The goal is to in spite of diminishing volumes; maintain an unchanged cost per sorted consignment until 2008, by rationalising the work and creating the prerequisites for a more efficient exchange of experiences between the sorting terminals.
