Position #2 June 2017
What’s the best part of your job?
It’s exciting and anything but routine! Every day new challenges come up that
mean that we have to be innovative when we plan, structure and monitor our
activities.
What is the Port of Oxelösund’s biggest strength?
The collective knowledge of the company! That and our product range and
flexibility, where we go beyond the limits of what a port traditionally offers.
This means that we are able to find solutions for customer requests. We see
increasing demand for composite logistics solutions, and believe that we can
develop our concept even more here in the future.
Meet our ProcessManagers
What is the Port of Oxelösund’s biggest strength and what is its biggest challenge? And how can we create the greatest value for our
customers? We asked these and lots of other questions to our five Process Managers.
Tell us about your job!
As a Process Manager I am responsible for operational processes at the steel
port. This includes the loading and unloading of ships/trains/vehicles, contain-
er stuffing and storage management.
How do you develop your process?
It is important that all of the employees are given the opportunity to comment
on and influence developments. Therefore, representatives from all of our shift
teams gather together in different development groups once a month. We talk
about safety, deviations and equipment development as well as working meth-
ods. The Company attaches great importance to these meetings, as these give
the employees a great opportunity to develop and influence their daily work. For
me as a Business Leader, these groups and the decisions we make in them are
very important. We want our employees to have this in mind all of the time, to
see opportunities and to know that they can contribute to their implementation.
Peter Pedersen, Process Manager, Steel port
How is the best customer service created?
At The Port of Oxelösund our strength is our 24-7-service ability. But
this is demanding. We have to provide the same quality no matter
when, be able to respond to rapid changes and have a high level of
flexibility in our operations.
What do you appreciate most about having the port as your
workplace?
I have worked here for 17 years, I started as a stevedore and I’ve
worked in a few different roles. Lots of our employees stay here for a
long time. I think it’s because of the variation, it’s a very free profession
where we get to work with all kinds of things. There are also great
opportunities to develop and advance in your career.
