Abstract
In this study a tool to be used in improving of the work organisation in mechanised forest harvesting teams has been developed. It is called WORX, as an ancronym for Work OR-ganisational indeX. The knowledge and empirical base of WORX is multifarious; a scientific review, a team of specialists, a questionnaire, an interview study, a case study, several open-space semi-nars and real time field tests. WORX is based on benchmarking principles. Assessed are three factors - current standards - basic conditions and - working climate. All three factors are built up from three aspects and each aspect of several items. In total 41 items are assessed. When using WORX the output shall be discussed mutually in the team in order to iden-tify strengths and weaknesses and to decide upon necessary improvement measures to carry out
