Stora Enso’s (SE) division consumer board has launched a World Class Manufacturing (WCM) investment throughout all their production units in the world. An internal education program started a project to reduce short stops in the packaging line at the mill in Skoghall, Sweden. This thesis seeks to evaluate a continuous improvement (CI) project and distinguish some of the key factors for SE to succeed with another implementation in the future. The project will involve operators in the CI work and together with these shift teams made a structured way of working with short stops. The data collection methods have both been qualitative and quantitate such observations, conversations, meetings and stop data from the internal stop and interruption program. This thesis indicates that SE hasstarted their journey towards WCM but many obstacles are in their way. A change of focus and involvement will be needed to succeed in the future.
