Abstract: The comprehensive goal in this study was to examine important factors in an introduction of a new machine team. The aim was to identify what elements should be part of an introduction program for new machine team. The examination was done together with Stora Enso Skog. A new machine team and their supervisors where analyzed during a six month period. The evaluation was done with open interviews of the team members and their supervisors. The main question was what should be included in an introduction program to develop a successful machine team as effective as possible? Interviews of the new team and analyses gave good indications how the procedure should be done. The results showed that following elements are necessary in an introduction program: • A course program for machine, internal practical and theory courses should be scheduled. • Approximately three weeks of preparation, where theory courses and responsibility questions should be dealt with. • A special course on group dynamics, lead by the supervisors. How to give and take feed back is an important part for a new team. • An introduction analysis made by an external person. This analysis should focus on the need for information, productivity and quality. Questions about machine choice, production requirement and management are also discussed in the study. In the discussion part a proposed time schedule for the introduction is introduced, as well as some risks that can happen if failures in the introduction of a new team.
