On-site / Customized Software Training
On-site training can be a cost-effective solution, even for off-the-shelf PLM software applications. In the past, companies used what was readily available in the CAD/CAM/PDM system. Now businesses build their processes around complex design and manufacturing cycles using the manyconfigurations offered in today’s PLM solutions.
When On-site / Customized Software Training Makes Sense
If your company needs to train just one person how to use an off-the-shelf PLM application, then on-site or custom PLM training is not the right choice. However, if your group makes core business decisions with design and manufacturing tools, have a group with 3 or more, and use PLM tool with configuration or want to go in this direction, then custom PLM training can improve data quality, increase productivity, and strengthen employee satisfaction. This approach will enable the delivery of training to your specific requirement and deliver bottom line results to achieve your lean engineering goals.
Identify Software Training Needs
It is a good idea to begin with a training needs analysis that measures how people currently use the software. With that information, you can identify the training topics that will help people achieve the greatest improvement. A Swoosh Technologies instructor will guide you through this analysis and detail the go forward training plan.
If your company is introducing a new off-the-shelf application, people need to understand the change and attain confidence using the software application. A training needs analysis serves as the foundation for the change management plan and the instructional design.
Your company can achieve any of the following goals with customized software training:
- Launching a new enterprise-level application
- Introducing a new process to an existing application
- Teaching new users how to use the application within your business process
- Identifying and targeting specific skills for improvement
- Encouraging people to use functions that are available but underused
