General Manufacturing Training Software Systems

General Manufacturing Training Software Systems Ensure Compliance with ISO 9001:2000 6.2 and ISO 14001 4.4 Quality Standards for Automating Employee Training

ISO training requirements necessitate effective training control - the process of tracking, follow-up, documenting, and verifying training and managing the training program. can easily be managed with a general manufacturing training system. As such, training control is a critical part of conformance to ISO standards.

How can MasterControl's General Manufacturing Training Software Benefit You?

MasterControl's general manufacturing training software is a robust, easy-to-use solution designed to effectively manage the training process and integrate it with other processes critical to regulatory compliance, such as CAPA, change control, audit, and customer complaints.

Here's how MasterControl Training addresses some of the major challenges that companies face in establishing and maintaining an automated manufacturing training management software system:

Training Management and Tracking Challenges		MasterControl Training Software Solution
Inefficient Training Management System The more employees a company has, the harder it is to track, follow-up, and verify their training, especially if they're in different locations working different shifts which can be easily managed by implementing general manufacturing training systems. A paper-based system is likely to result in voluminous paperwork, delays, or incomplete training tasks.		Efficient Training Management and Tracking Software MasterControl's general manufacturing training software automates the routing and delivery of training tasks and even automatic grading of online exams. Provides a secure, centralized, and Web-based repository for all training-related documents.
Disconnected Training Processes Changes made to SOP and other key documentation almost always require new training and general manufacturing training systems are the right choice to make. If the training process is not connected to change control and other quality processes, training tasks are likely to fall through the cracks.		Connected Training Software System MasterControl's general manufacturing training software integrates the training process with the rest of the quality system for a holistic approach. For example, the resolution of a corrective action will trigger an engineering change, an SOP change, and training of employees on the new SOP.
Poor Communication Tracking calls for two-way communication. The training coordinator needs to inform all trainees about their tasks and trainees need to communicate back upon completion of training. In between, there's a need to remind people or escalate tasks which can be very difficult without a proper general manufacturing training system. Paper-based and hybrid systems create unnecessary work with uncoordinated e-mail messages, phone calls, and face-to-face communication that are difficult to track.		Efficient Communication Automates tracking and follow-up. Users are automatically notified about new training tasks. Upon completion of the task, the verifier is also automatically notified. Trainees have access to their training records with a personalized folder in the general manufacturing training software that shows past training, course due dates, and future training.
Lack of Oversight With a paper-based or hybrid system, it's hard to find out who needs what training when, or how many employees passed or failed the training. It's almost impossible to get the status of the training program in a timely manner.		Increased Oversight MasterControl Training's advanced analytics and reporting capability includes customizable reports and online charting. The training coordinator can run a report according to required training by trainee, completed training by job code, or pending training by course, and find out how many people have completed their tasks.

Features of General Manufacturing Training Software

Here's a summary of MasterControl Training's powerful features that can help manufacturers:

Online Exams - Regulatory bodies are increasingly seeking proof of personnel competency through the use of testing. MasterControl's general manufacturing training software automates the assignment and follow-up of training tasks and even grading of online exams.

Training Curriculum - MasterControl's general manufacturing training software allows development of a progressive training program through sequencing of training courses. As soon as a trainee completes a prerequisite, the next course is automatically launched.

Group Sign Off - For companies with hundreds of employees being trained at once, verifying and signing off for each trainee can be time-consuming. With the group sign-off feature, the course instructor or verifier can sign off once for large groups of trainees.

Revision Control - With MasterControl's automatic revision control provided in the general manufacturing training software, only one authorized user at a time can revise a particular training material. Trainers and course managers can rest assured that there are not multiple versions of a course being acted upon.

Connected Quality Processes - MasterControl general manufacturing training software connects training with other quality processes, so any course or linked document that has been changed and re-approved will automatically trigger training tasks for all affected trainees.

Advanced Analytics and Reporting - MasterControl general manufacturing training software automatically performs gap analysis for all training tasks - all the time. It tracks and shows any training deficiencies that might jeopardize compliance. Training coordinators can monitor the entire quality management lifecycle, from input to closure. Managers will get the big picture with the help of the following reporting capabilities:

• A general manufacturing training system have an ability to dynamically capture, trend, and link data needed to solve problems, improve processes, and implement preventive measures. A variety of reports come standard, but companies can customize reports based on their needs.
• Data can be grouped together by a date interval and then charted over a date range.
