Following long term planning and preparation between Stewart Milne
Timber Systems and David Brown Training, the implementation
of an ambitious programme to assure competence within the manufacturing
process has now commenced within the production facility at Westhill. The programme focuses on the supervisory, manufacturing, warehousing
and admin functions within the manufacturing plant.
 |
Planning Phase
The programme was planned out to assure that the various
initiatives were integrated. Rather than implement a programme
just at operative level, the development of the facilities
managers was planned out to coincide and assist with the implementation
of the programme.
|
|
Development Phase
We developed Training Systems and Procedures covering the
entire manufacturing process from goods in to goods out.This
includes:Raw material intake > Preparing raw materials
> Main component manufacture (Kits) > Joinery and assembly
> Storage and collation to dispatch
The Training System includes:
- Departmental Training Plan
- Individual Training Plan
- Coaching Sheets
- Assessment Manuals

IMPLEMENTATION - STEP TWO
As part of the NEBS Management Training, supervisors were

Coaching Sheet to provide coaching to one of his team.

IMPLEMENTATION - STEP THREE
Individual Assessment in the workplace assures that team
members are following workplace procedures. This also provides
evidence towards the SVQ!

using a Coaching / Assessment sheet. The assessment is used
as evidence towards the SVQ in Perform Manufacturing Operations
at Level 2
