Industrial Trainer

Oct 2020 - Apr 2022
Initially attached to the fenestration continuous improvement team, my focus was on developing and applying a curriculum related to Lean manufacturing training. This included presenting and coaching the traditional Training Within Industry Job Instruction Train-the-Trainer program. I revised it to be delivered over 10 days. It included a correction to a fatal flaw that was evident within the public availability of the program. The continuous improvement training function also included developing and maintaining a cross-training matrix. When attached to the quality department my focus changed to review, correction, and re-writing or creation of standard operating procedures, creating an approval process for document revisions, assessment of specific tasks, creating of training curriculum, and route cause analysis. Most of our employees are English as a second language. To address this, I was tasked with the creation of what we called quick guides. I created many of these guides, based largely on the job instruction methodology, for areas where quality errors had occurred. The guides worked extremely well. I also performed specific onboarding functions. For weekly first-day onboarding, I performed two training sessions, specifically general plant tours for new employee orientation, as well as presented Vitrum Glass Group’s quality ideology of delivering to our corporate customers the highest quality products, ensuring complete orders, and that they are delivered on-time. For second-day onboarding, I provided day-long new employee orientation and specific training and assessment of production staff. This included employee-specific functional tours of operations within both plants, behavioural assessment training, an overview of their first 6 months, quality requirements, and simple skills such as using tape measures and using both Imperial and Metric measurement.

JIBS Continuous Improvement Course Creator
-
Aug 2020 - Apr 2022
Covid-19 has helped me to place a new iron in the fire, JIBS course creation. I took on a job in maintenance, so I could do preparatory work for this. I took on a job at Vitrum, to see if I could test its effectiveness. I have been delighted in the results. Now I am looking to prove this methodology further. In the past, I had introduced the TWI J-Program, Job Instruction Training, and developed JIBS-based assembly build manuals, for a small Division of the 2nd largest oil services company in the world. Those JIBS-based manuals helped the Division to improve build quality and to capture significant undersea tool contracts, making it the most successful Division, for its size, within the company. Now I plan to make JIBS training and JIBS-based manuals training readily available online. The Original Problem: Technicians received build direction primarily through engineered-drawings. Drawings were hard to interpret, and they failed to capture much of our technician-based shop floor knowledge. My Solution: To introduce Job Instruction Training and create JIBS-based documents to capture shop floor knowledge and simplify the information derived from the engineered drawings. These were compiled into JIBS-based build manuals. I plan to make this methodology guidance available to others online through a simple JIBS-based continuous improvement mastery course that I am creating. Show less

I took this resident position, so I could provide more hands-on care for a family. That situation has been resolved for the better. This was a hands-on customer-facing, general labour, general maintenance, and operations management position, for a 26-acre, 225-resident site, where I would help solve park-related operational and maintenance issues.
