Implementing Rapid Prototyping Model in Logistics Operations Manual Creation : Valmet Transportation Case

Abstract

This thesis is a qualitative project-based study about creating Logistics Operations Manual for Valmet Transportation staff. The thesis is roughly divided in two parts: supporting theory and data analysis, and Logistics Operations Manual. The client of the thesis is Valmet Technologies, Inc., a leading global developer and supplier of services and technologies for process industries. Theory was gathered from books and article databases and used to support the instructional design theory and rapid prototyping process. The theoretical framework consisted of human resource management, change management, internal communication, logistics and supply chain management education, and instructional design. The Logistics Operations Manual was created using instructional design theory’s rapid prototyping model.
