Faced with more high job turnover and rapid technological change, manufacturers are increasingly investing in training. Beyond meeting the need to upskill staff and onboard employees, training and retraining can help improve productivity and safety. Yet, there is a tradeoff with high training costs and downtime.
Video is a highly effective training tool for frontline manufacturing activities, especially for younger trainees who have grown up learning through video. Yet many operational training programs use video clips of workstations, tasks, tools, and products that often differ significantly from the current setups. As a result, on-the-job training time increases while productivity decreases.
Leela Platform can augment manufacturing training software with fresh, targeted video clips. By providing tools to easily identify best practices, Leela makes it easy to share videos of exceptional work. By sharing recent best practice videos, supervisors can provide trainees with exactly the same workstations, products, components, tools, and placements they will be using on the job. This reduces on-the-job training and the downtime and disruption required for skills demonstrations.
Our Leela Viewer dashboard displays videos with full VCR controls alongside relevant metrics, and it provides face blurring to protect privacy. You can easily export video for integration with existing operational training software. Smaller operations may find it is the only training software they need.
Employees can use the clips to study other production processes at the factory. This not only helps them understand how their job fits into the larger operation but makes it easier to quickly retrain to fill a staffing gap. In short, Leela Platform provides a fast, effective tool for operational training and retraining, especially for shops with frequent turnover of products and assembly practices.
