IATF 16949 Clause 7.2.2 - On the job training

[DariusPlumdon]

I am looking for guidance/clarification on this clause to ensure we meet the intent of the clause, without going over the top and creating pointless bureaucracy.

1) It states '... in any new or modified responsibilities...' - Where does this finish, as any job evolves responsibilities change even if a person is static within an organisation

2) Does 'on the job training' include self learning? Does it have to be provided by another person, or is learning from books or online content 'on the job training'?
We have no known problem or NCN/OFI from an external audit to address, we purely want to see if we can improve or optimise what we do based real world practice.

Any practical inputs welcome.

The standard states
The level of detail required for on-the-job training shall be
commensurate with the level of education the personnel possess and the complexity of the task(s) they are required to perform for their daily work.

IMHO the training should meet this and can be of any form as long as afterwards you can show competency

1) For OJT, the main thing here is as the job/role evolves, you need to determine what needs OJT and what needs/can be done with books, classes, etc. i.e If there is a new way to change a chemical or something like that, that likely is a candidate to be OJT - you want the person learning how to do it real time and actually perform it On the Job.

2) OJT does not include learning from books or online content. OJT is actually doing the job physically like pushing buttons, taking things apart and putting them together, how to respond to things in real time, etc.
