Training Example: Operator Generic Fundamentals (GFE)

Today’s GFE Training

• Instructor led training• Textbooks, lectures and presentation based• Conducted at 30 plants each year• Ten weeks of training• One instructor (or more)• Twelve instructor-years each year• Cost estimate >$3M each year

Possible GFE Training

• Engaging eLearning* available anytime / anywhere• Re-useable learning content for EN, MA, RP, indoc, etc.• Instructor help line with local mentor • Two instructor-years plus other workers• Cost estimate <$1M each year

*Engaging eLearning includes simulations, video clips, 2D and 3D. Tests are frequent and an LMS tracks student performance closely.
