Why Does My Company Need This Program?
If you already conduct SPC training
Companies that use the SPC Workout find that it is an excellent complement to existing classroom training. In fact, over 80% of the companies that purchase the program are already providing SPC training to employees in a classroom format. These companies have found that instead of having to take several people away from their job for several hours or sometimes even days, with the SPC Workout, they can train people when it is most convenient. This significantly reduces the cost of training because it takes non-productive time such as equipment changeovers or unexpected maintenance shutdowns and turns it into productive training time. In addition, with the SPC Workout, you can train employees around the clock, seven days a week. No longer will third shift be left out of training opportunities.
Companies using the SPC Workout also find that training time is cut in half compared to the time it takes to teach the same information in a classroom. That's because learners control the speed of the training and can proceed at their pace, not the pace of the instructor.
In addition, the SPC Workout assures that each employee receives the same, technically correct message. You don't have to worry that your training will be inconsistent as sometimes happens with classroom and on-the-job training.
If you don't already conduct SPC training
Without training, your employees may not be using control charts correctly. This means that they could be misrepresenting the variation in their process and ignoring or overreacting to out of control points. In any case, the purpose of using control charts will be self-defeating.
If you are reading this now, you already realize that SPC training is important for you organization. The question now is what is the best way to handle it. Take a cue from over 80% of our customers who have tried the classroom training approach. They know how long it takes to prepare for and present training and how the SPC Workout eliminates all of those hassles. Most importantly, when you use the SPC Workout to do your training, you can concentrate on more important aspects of SPC like determining what specialized chart to use on which processes.
