The digital printing market is changing faster now than before and the ability to adjust to newsituations has become more importat to a printing company. An efficient internal communicationis essential. At Elanders Digitaltryck a decision was made in august 2002 to look over the shiftworking system for the printer operators. In this paper, an investigation of the possibilities tochange the existing system to a better one was made.The project resultet in four different timetabels. The construction was based on theoretical studiesand an analysis of the current situation at the workplace. The analysis showed that a strong resistanseagainst a change of the working hours exists among the workers and that this should beconsidered before a decision is made. An analasys of the printers counters shows that they areused more efficient during shorter shift periods compared to the longer ones. A closeer look at theabcense due to sickness shows that it is relatively high but no connection between abcense andworking hours could be made.Working hours is a sensitive issue and should be treated with care. It is important that the workersare well informed and preferly involved in the development of a new timetable.
