Bringing Structure to Talent Management Across a Growing Production Environment

Manage workforce capability across a complex production environment

Martinucci is a South Italian producer of pastries and frozen desserts with a heritage dating back to 1950 and customers in more than 30 countries. As the company grew, managing workforce capability across multiple production plants became more complex.

The organisation wanted a more structured way to understand employee skills and align those competencies with production needs, while also improving coordination between Human Resources and Production.

Link workforce skills to the work that needs to be done

Martinucci deployed Presto Talent Manager to create a clearer view of workforce capabilities and to support the assignment of customer work orders based on employee skill competency.

Rather than treating talent information as a static HR record, the approach connected skills with operational demand. This gave managers a more practical basis for deciding who was best placed to support production activity.

Create a scalable talent-management foundation

• Assign production work orders based on employee competency.
• Improve coordination between Human Resources and Production.
• Increase visibility into workforce capabilities across multiple plants.
• Create a scalable foundation for operational growth and efficiency.

Bring talent management closer to daily operations

Within a few weeks, Martinucci had established a more structured approach to managing talent across its production operations. The system gave leadership greater visibility into workforce capabilities and created a stronger connection between people development and the needs of the production environment.

The implementation also introduced Lean Management principles into the broader conversation with staff, using Presto as a practical means to reinforce structured thinking and operational discipline.
