Session Title: Manufacturing & Learning Industry User Group

 

Session #: 124

 

Location: Yucatan 3

 

Session Format: Industry Session

 

Engage in an interactive benchmarking dialogue with other colleagues from the Manufacturing field in this special MyIndustry Learning User Group. We will compare notes about how "Learning is Changing", including:

 

  • Taking learning global in the manufacturing industry
  • Finding ways, time and "justifications" for hourly line workers to take e-Learning
  • Delivery methodologies used on the plant floor: are Classroom and IDL the only options?

    Teresa Nolet:I'm looking forward to meeting anyone interested in Learning in Manufacturing. Production schedules are an issue as Meka points out - let's share some ideas about how e-learning can help make learning happen on a flexible schedule. Grant's idea about having factory workers contribute is interesting - maybe we can discuss ways to do that, while making sure the content is accurate and "what the engineers have authorized"! We can also discuss some of the challenges of multiple sites, in different countries and languages. Lots of challenges but wonderful opportunities as well. If you're involved with manufacturing, we'd love to see you at the session!
    Grant Ricketts:In addition to this session, I know of an excellent example at P&G whereby they've deployed a rapid development methodology that let's factory workers actually contribute content as well. Hope to catch up with this session as well.
    Meka Hubbard:Great! I'd like to hear more about the application of E-learning in manufacturing. We have a growing e-learning system here at General Mills, however my plant in particular has not been able to maximize on class offerings due to our production schedules. Any though??
