Workforce Enablement Technology
Training The Operators Of The Future
Special thanks to Cecil F. Shewchuk, for writing this white paper illustrating the value of new operator training technology in a plant!
For a limited time you can request a free copy of the white paper by emailing me at joseph.mcmullen@invensys.com. All I ask is that you comment on your favorite quote from the paper in this blog post.
Here are my top 5 quotes from the white paper:
1. From gaming systems to Blu-ray players, the technology gap between the generations is staggering. When you consider that your plant’s operation relies on a well-trained workforce, you must realize that the training tools that worked in the past may not be effective with today’s younger workforce.
2. As the older generation retires, technology holds the key to engaging the next generation of operators. Today’s technology enables higher workforce retention by accelerating careers and keeping the next generation of workers more engaged and invested with updated training tools that speed training time. Among the best indicators of the efficiency and success of any organization is the level and depth of its personnel training.
3. Using an OTS system in which basic training is integrated with graphical schematics of the actual plant DCS that the operator trainee is expected to use, develops a familiarity that instills confidence. This comes from the opportunity to practice real scenarios with hands-on experience in a safe environment.
4. A well-trained operator learns to respond efficiently and quickly to potential or real safety hazards, having had the opportunity to practice abnormal plant situations and emergencies.
5. A plant with a workforce that actually is empowered by the confidence of knowledge will experience greater safety, improved reliability and higher efficiency. All of this will consequently result in better financial performance for the company with the foresight to make investments in this technology.
