Speaker: Chuck Leber — Performance Improvement for Industry, Inc.
Heavy process industries, whether chemical processing, pulp & paper, power, food & beverage, all have similar characteristics in terms of content—work rules, process systems technology, human-machine interface—and the characteristics of operations and production-line learners, whose backgrounds range from junior internet/technology-savvy to senior not-high-school educated.
Leber, a national provider of industrial training services, describes how training can best be developed to explain sophisticated production systems and hi-tech interfaces to such a disparate user group. He will also discuss how emerging e-learning technologies impact this development effort.
