Cartographic Operators have been a process over a longer 
period of time. After leaning the operating system and editing 
software they have been quickly involved in production. At 
first they are trained in Database 1 editing and we have found 
that it takes a minimum of six months to get the operators 
productive. 
After having experience from Database 1 editing the 
Cartographic Operators are moved to Database 2 editing. Now 
they are trained in nameplacing etc. 
Former Photogrammetric Operators on the project have been 
given training in cartographic editing and they get a very good 
knowledge of digital map production. 
Plots from Database 2 and Database 3 are internally controlled 
by experienced Cartographers before sent to the Client for 
approval. 
There are one Quality Controller in the production office that 
channels the comments from the Client to the responsible 
production section. 
OFFSET PRINTING 
The offset printing is sub contracted to a printing office in 
Jakarta that is operating 24 hours a day. From the Blom-Narcon 
Cooperation production office the printer receivers reverse 
reading positive films ready for making printing plates. 
Both BAKOSURTANAL and Blom-Narcon Cooperation is 
active in the quality control at the printing office.
