CMM Operator Training

LaserJay
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've found that if you are going to write a procedure/ training manual etc. that you have to assume the person reading it is a complete idiot who will take anything you write and twist it beyond recognition

    Best thing that happened to me as far as writing technical stuff was a woman named Kathy. She took everything I wrote and applied it as literally as she could. If there was a way to misread something she could do it. She wasn't trying to mess me up, that's just the way her mind worked. I got to the point where anything I wrote I had her read it and do the task. If it passed the Kathy test, no one could mess it up.

    You have to be very aware of your knowledge and the assumed knowledge of your reader. If you write for something well below what you think someone should know to do the job, it will usually come out right.
