CMM Operator Training

How do you train your operators? Any advise is welcome. Don't be a turd.

We have been intermittently slow at work so I have been building basically a curriculum to train new operators (we are expecting to hire people at the beginning of the year).

My "Curriculum" is basically just notes on how to run the CMM, but with some pictures and a few step by step guides. I have used one of my hand mic guys as a path finder/Guiney pig and it seems like every time I get done with a training section there are so many things that I have left out that he immediately stumbles over.

Idk I am pretty good at explaining things in person but putting them down on paper is a bit harder.

  • I tried something similar, with the tests. Problem was, our training system was set up to where a score of less than 80% was a failure nd required corrective actions and such. You either passed an assessment or there was an issue with the training that had to be addressed. We started writing multiple choice questions with obvious answers i.e.:

    What are the key parts of an alignment:
    A) Level, rotate, and origin
    B) Wash, rinse, repeat
    C) Only management is allowed to alignment
    D) All the above

    Best part was, management couldn't figure out how people never knew anything but passed training tests with 100%.


    LOL!
    I thought about going to a test based system but I think I would really want the tests to be more like practice than an actual test.
