You and I know that manufacturing organizations are complicated, demanding places. Customers
expect perfect products. Manufacturers stay in business as long as they can deliver them – cheaply
and on-time. When you stray too far from perfect, your competition takes your customers
and ultimately, your business. Oh, and as a bonus, you get to use 100% completely imperfect
resources to create these perfect products. Sound easy?
Creating the products consumers expect in the face of machine downtime, quality issues, lack
of skilled labor, incoming material problems, employees not working well together, and…well,
creating anything with all of these challenges is very difficult. Who has time to improve? Where
does building the skills needed to meet the challenges and solve the problems go in the overstretched
day of a manufacturer?
The challenges for each manufacturing environment are unique. Perhaps you have a large staff of operators who need to learn more about the processes they handle in order to get better machine uptime. Or you may have a serious clutter challenge which is making production error prone. Or you may have skilled employees retiring without adequate replacements in line. The need to skill and re-skill a workforce never ends. Manufacturing moved to just-in-time delivery practices a long time ago. Finally, employee development and education has caught up. Oxygen Education’s AME21 is just-in-time education – what you need, when you need it, where you need it.
With over 300 hours of highly interactive, self-paced, competency-based education — the equivalent of over 1,500 hours of classroom education - AME21 gives your employees a bird’s eye view of manufacturing, one bite-sized segment or chapter at a time.
