Italy
Challenge
Vestas is a global leader in the wind energy sector, specialising in the design, production and maintenance of advanced wind turbines. Recently it launched the production project for the new V-236 15 MW wind blade at its Taranto plant, with the aim of strengthening its production capacity and better serving the European market. With the objective of producing the new V-236 15 MW wind blade at the Taranto facility, Vestas faced operational and organisational challenges. The complexity of the project required meticulous planning of the production ramp-up, precise process design and particularly tight delivery schedule management. Additionally, Vestas needed to launch specific initiatives to guarantee product quality and operational efficiency, while maintaining high standards of safety and compliance. Due to the complexity of this operation, combined with the need to find and train a qualified workforce, it turned to Manpower to create a strategic partnership for recruitment, selection, training and personnel management.
Solution
A long-standing partner of Vestas, Manpower collaborates with the company through OnSite, a highly customised solution that combines staffing, training and operational management to effectively support the Taranto plant. The strategy adopted was structured to cover every phase of the selection and onboarding process, with particular attention to ensuring quality, safety and alignment with Vestas's company values. The proposed solution was built through a collaborative and dynamic model, which includes both a dedicated OnSite team and partnerships and technology solutions to optimise operational efficiency and reduce management timeframes.
The distinctive aspects of Manpower's approach include:
- Dedicated OnSite Team working directly at the Vestas facility
- Co-design of processes specific to Vestas that include Assessment, Academy, projects to reduce turnover and absenteeism
- Promotion of diversity (for example, to integrate a greater female component)
- Cost Saving
- Technology
Results
Manpower helped Vestas successfully complete the production ramp-up of the V-236 wind blade at the Taranto facility. The comprehensive solution proposed by Manpower enabled Vestas to optimise selection and training timeframes, bringing a highly qualified workforce into production that was aligned with company values.
Key results include:
- Met delivery deadlines thanks to accurate planning and process automation
- Increased productivity and operational quality through a trained workforce supported by targeted assessment solutions
