Bridging the Skills Gap: Sandvik E-Learning
02.18.2014
The ever-changing world of manufacturing requires constant application to keep metal cutting skills fresh. Partners in THINC member Sandvik Coromant offers a free e-learning program can help production workers stay abreast of the latest techniques and technology. E-learning is cost-efficient, and your staff can use the courses anywhere at any time, 24/7, at your convenience. The better your competence is at the production level, the better the rate of productivity improvement.
How it Works
The Sandvik Coromant e-learning program is based on their 360-page training handbook, Metal Cutting Technology, which is used in training courses at their Productivity Centers. In adapting the material for the Web, they broke it down into short training courses including animations, voice over, video clips and texts. The focus is to understand terms and definitions, and how to apply tools for turning, milling, boring and tool holding. Participants get an understanding of the basics of production economics, and how to improve productivity and profitability, in workshops.
Standard or Customized
The program is divided into nine chapters and 75 short courses. Students can tailor it to suit their requirements. For those who master the course in its entirety, a test is offered. It typically takes two to three days to complete the entire program.
Students are welcome to register for this free e-learning program on Metal Cutting Technology (available only in English).
