October 2007
There is no question about the reliance the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the end user have on one another in today’s packaging industry. This dependence is most evident during training where strong communication of expectations and information is key. This month we asked OEM Dennis Blom, director of training at PIAB Inc. and end user Tom Hergenrader, manufacturing engineering technician of Coors Brewing Company to tell us a bit about their experiences with training and their expectations of this critical element of successful business in today’s packaging industry. Developing SOPs to Effectively Train Changeover Procedures One of the most important topics to cover thoroughly during equipment training is proper changeover procedures. Although it is a well-known fact that poor changeover procedures are a major cause of equipment downtime, poor training in this area is one of the top complaints by end-users. Indeed, along with a comprehensive troubleshooting guide, the most requested job aid is a good changeover procedure. Ask The Training Expert Do you have questions for our trainers? Whether it is class related or an issue you have come across while training, we will answer your questions here! Read on for the questions and answers sent in this month. PMMI Community of Practice - Conference at PACK EXPO PMMI’s Technical Training Community of Practice focused on the vital importance of establishing best practices for training during their session at the Conference at PACK EXPO Las Vegas on Monday, October 15, 2007. |
