Chapter 31 - Job Instruction/Training Is Training the Solution?
Training is temporary. Solve health and safety problems with permanent
engineering solutions instead.
Training Needs Assessment Identify drivers of training need. May be external or internal. What knowledge and skills will close the gap between
actual and desired performance?
3ISE 311
Reasons for Job Training
Static Job and Static Worker Use training to improve the worker’s job knowledge. Teach:
Better methods New skills New techniques for performing familiar tasks
Static Job and Changing Worker Pre-train employees through cross-training. Train potential employees. Several workers may have to be trained when a job
is created or eliminated.
4ISE 311
Reasons for Job Training (cont.)
Changing Job and Static Worker Train worker in new technology. Have a product designer learn about ergonomics.
Changing Job and Changing Worker Major changes occur in a job. Lean production requires skilled, cross-trained
workers. Worker involvement in decisions requires greater
education.
5ISE 311
Designing Job Instruction Specify Instructional Objectives
In a well-defined objective: The desired performance is observable. The desired performance is measurable. The conditions of performance are specified.
Organize the Message Planning:
Decide how to communicate (the medium). Decide on the specific tactics.
Drafting: Use multiple drafts. Revising:
Perform pilot tests with the target audience. Revise the material based on the results.
6ISE 311
Kinesthetic Learning by doing Results in learning with long retention. Use for highly repetitive psychomotor movements. Remove dangers during practice.
Audio Auditory messages are transitory. Complex information is difficult to communicate The message is paced by the sender at a fixed rate.
Visual Text, representation of the object, or a combination Linear or branching presentation Communicate to individuals or group Ease of modification Distributed or massed practice Location of instruction
Media Options
7ISE 311
Message Options Pictorial Messages
Live demonstrations Film/video Still photographs Still or animated drawings Color or black and white Consider image fidelity.
Text Messages Words: Write so you cannot be misunderstood. Style: Reduce the complexity of your writing. Consider using job aids in writing (e.g. spell checker). Format: Use tabular rather than narrative formats.
8ISE 311
Tactics Training (memorization) requires
Subject knowledge by the trainer Knowledge of how to teach by the trainer Training materials Training time A trainee willing and able to learn
Trainer options “Sit by Nellie”: Observe a fellow worker. Let the supervisor do the training. Hire a teacher to train the workers. Use self-instruction with good materials.
9ISE 311
Tactics (cont.)
Programmed Learning Define the exact behavior the trainee will learn to do. Present the information in small increments. Allow the trainee to determine the pace. Give immediate feedback on results to trainee. Observe trainee behavior and modify program if
necessary. Enhanced Training
Practice makes perfect. Part-task training focuses on the difficult parts. Training wheels permit the trainee to learn without
injury or damage.
10ISE 311
Tactics (cont.)
Simulation Allows the trainee to gain a high level of skill before
doing actual work. Use when the cost of error in real performance is high. Computerized simulation has become more accessible.
11ISE 311
Evaluation Purpose
Use evaluation feedback to improve the training process.
Training is a continuous process.
Techniques Participant satisfaction Learning outcomes Attitude changes Behavior or performance changes Accomplishment of organizational goals
12ISE 311
Job Aid Design Considerations
Information readability Information content Information organization Physical handling and environmental factors
Procedural Job Aids Include assembly instructions, to-do lists, recipes. Present information in a decision structure table. Tables permit decisions to be made by experts without
time stress. Expert systems are computerized, complex decision
structure tables.
13ISE 311
Job Aid Design Psychomotor Information
Present in pictorial instruction or on video. Use words + pictures and allow for modifications. Have copies at the machine and in the office. Consider computerizing the material.
Limit Aids (for Inspection) Have experts define what is acceptable or not. Select a range of parts. Arrange the parts in descending quality and mount
or photograph. Give a set to each inspector and operator.
14ISE 311
Challenge of Change Technological change interacts with social
systems. “The bottom line of engineering is
implementation.” “Where you stand depends on where you sit.”
Improve the odds through … Communication Teams
15ISE 311
Stages of the Change Process Frozen: stability
‘assembly line’ production methods
Unfreeze: rethink goals, consider alternatives Introduce cellular manufacturing concepts
Move: try new methods; feelings of insecurity Cross-training, development of work teams, etc. Unfamiliar skills, new expectations, etc.
Refreeze: “I like it”; “it works” Teams coalesce, skills become familiar, etc.
Frozen: stability
17ISE 311
Area of FreedomThe solution space is reduced to the area of freedom by economic, legal,technical, or policy factors.
18ISE 311
Communication
Resistance to change may result from: Lack of knowledge Emotions
Communicate: Why the change is being proposed What the expected consequences are
Communication improves the solution and acceptance.
20ISE 311
Team Composition People doing the job under consideration Skilled-trades (maintenance) people Staff people (process engineers, health/safety
specialists, first-line supervisors)
21ISE 311
Key Aspects of Successful Teams Management commitment Training Team composition Information sharing Activities and motivation Evaluation
22ISE 311
Negotiation Allows people to change their concepts
gradually Eliminates clearly unacceptable designs Improves communication within the group

Step 4: Promote control activities Monitor with np charts Meet to determine causes and prevention Develop checklists Revise standard procedures
32ISE 311
Results Defect rate reduced from 1.3% to 0.3% Annual savings of 400,000 yen Did not completely eliminate problem
33ISE 311
Comments Great effort to achieve small savings Sophisticated techniques Attitude toward quality problems Communication
34ISE 311
Proposing Change: Project Management Define project scope. Act as client’s servant. Consult frequently. Use experts. Give the ‘buyer’ a choice.
35ISE 311
Proposing change: Written proposals Present convincing information. Make an outline. Know your decision maker. Be concise. Use preferred format and style.
36ISE 311
Written Proposals (cont.)
Include economic information. State assumptions specifically. Make several drafts. Use effective tables and graphs. Proofread.
37ISE 311
Oral Presentations Have a clear objective. Start and end on time. Reach a conclusion. Stand and move around. Allow time for discussion. Use visual aids.
