Training Method for Trainers of Operators

Hi,
does anyone have a training method or system they could share with me when it comes to training opeartors on the shop floor. I have inherited a team of trainers but they don't seem to have any set way of training operators other than 'we just explain how to do it until we're happy that they know how.'
What I would like to have is a step by step plan that has a clear method. One I used in the past was: I do it quickly, I do it slow, we do it together and off you go. But our current system is a bit more complex than that.
I'd also like to measure roughly how much time it takes to train an operator, despite different people having different paces.

Thank you!

Hi Mags.
glad to hear from you on the Cove again.
I would like to suggest you TWI method : it stands for Training within Industry.
It is a well know and valid method to train people on the shof floor vs documented procedures.
If you have occasion, pls take a book on this topic . I know there are also trianing on this methodology .
Hope this helps:bigwave:

Hi,
thanks for getting back. No, language is fine. I just want my trainers to be more focussed and to have a method that they use for training.

Depending upon the industry, there are internal training centers that use most of the factory raw materals and components and build the required skill sets in the operators who would be getting back to the shop to do almost the identical tasks that they learnt in the centre. Further training goes on in the shopfloor under the direct supervision of skilled operators and inspectors and their outputs are not considered for productivity (but add to production) untill such time speed, competency and confidence gets into the operators. Periodically when new skills are to be imparted to operators, they are directed back to the training centers.

Hi Mags,
I come back to you after the sugegstion TWI method that I hope to be help to you. If you are interested , you can think to develop this methodology.
I would also suggest to you to think about the organization of the structure of trainers.
Do they also work in shift or only in daily?
If they perform their job in shift , they will have more occasion to work side by side with trainees.
I suggest you to divide the job based upon competences and the areas/processes/workstation they come from. They should be more skilled, but sometimes skilled people are not clever in teaching as well. I say this for experience that I have seen also during the audit.:bigwave:

The TWI process is excellent...
but i think the key phrase is (They don't seem to have any set way of training operators?.....)
Please explain....

Both of you are mothertongue in English. I have intended that these trainers do not appear to have an established method or process to follow to train the operators on the shopfloor ( trainees) in an effective and efficient way. I believe so from the entire sense of the post , but I am not mothertongue:bigwave:

Other than 'we just explain how to do it until we're happy that they know how.'

If i look at this they do have a process

Training operators other than 'we just explain how to do it until we're happy that they know how.'

By this they do have a process in place. Are they looking to change sorry (upgrade) the way they teach the employees how too.
Who is doing the training the Supervisor or the Engineer?
It is truth sometimes skilled people are not clever in teaching as well as they do not have the Patiences
