Post 15: Introducing Katie Cochlin

Introducing…

Katie Cochlin – Programme Manager – Publications Standards – CCMC

Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Katie Cochlin and I am from the UK. I moved to Belgium 9 years ago and I have been working at CCMC for 8 years. I have spent most of my free time studying for my MBA which was completed last month. Now that I have some free time coming up I am looking forward to learning Dutch and starting up swimming.
What are you working on right now?
I am registering and allocating work in the team for editing.
What is involved in the in-check process?
Well, this is linked to the material covered in our very first post on 15th September.  When we receive the texts from TCs , I first check to see if everything is in order for the project to proceed to an editor. I check the current workload of the team by using an electronic dashboard to have an overview of projects already distributed and I then allocate the new incoming work. I have to allocate fairly amongst the editors so, amongst other things, I look at the number of pages, complexity involved, type of deliverable and current workload of the editors. We aim to process enquiries within 2 weeks, formal votes and UAPs within 5 weeks and publications within 2 weeks.  On average, we have around 1500 pages worth of editing to get through each week.
