The fifth volume in the series will highlight the need for increased skills proficiency in maintenance and reliability organizations today. It begins with a discussion of the skills shortage, then progresses into how to develop cost-effective and efficient skills training programs. It focuses on modern tools for duty, task, needs analysis and how to convert that data into a complete skills development initiative. The reader will be able to use the information in this to develop or enhance a skills training program in their company.
Drawing on the author's first-hand experience in developing and implementing comprehensive maintenance skills training programs, Training Programs for Maintenance Organizations provides a roadmap for addressing the current challenges facing maintenance workforces. While many of the concepts presented have been in the training realm for years, they have not been directly applied to training a technical workforce. This text makes that application. By using this book as your guide, you will go a long way toward ensuring that your workforce has a solid skill foundation, an indispensable ingredient for an effective maintenance program.
