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 have done lots of training in a multitude of things. I found that a Show, Watch, Train Me method worked the best. I would show an operator a basic task and answer any questions. Then, I would watch them do it, and answer any questions. Finally, once I felt that they had a good grasp on it, I would have them show me how to do the task, like I had never done it, and ask them questions. It often worked quite well.

    After explaining some of the basics, I would have them do a 3-2-1 alignment on and measure a 1-2-3 block. After that, I would have them write a DCC program on top of their manual measurements.

    My old shop wanted a work instruction for CMM programming. I kept telling them that a CMM programming work instruction would look like an encyclopedia set. I have setup instructions and pictures for programs I have done but that is about it.

    I like relating it to a chef-created menu. It's constantly evolving as the chef hones his/her skills. Plus, different cuisines apply to the needs of different restaurants (products).
