Equipment Specific Maintenance Training Modules

In both mature and young maintenance workforces, it is not uncommon to find that the workforce lacks some of the skills that their assigned work requires. This skills gap may exist in a new operation where you have qualified maintenance personnel with little experience on your particular equipment, or when new equipment has been put into service over time with little attention paid to the training required to effectively maintain that equipment. Equipment specific maintenance training modules have proven to be an effective tool for upgrading maintenance skills. Performance Associates’ equipment specific maintenance training modules provide the instruction necessary to enable your maintenance personnel to perform maintenance activities in a safe and efficient manner. The modules utilize specific information from the equipment manufacturer’s operating and maintenance manuals. Information specific to proper maintenance practices is extracted from the vendor’s information and arranged in a convenient format to provide the information required by maintenance personnel. Equipment maintenance training modules contain the following:

1. Module Objectives—What must the trainee be able to do after completing the training.
2. Vendor Reference Material—A compilation of selected vendor documentation.
3. Workbook—An open book assignment containing questions derived from the vendor reference material.
4. Knowledge Assessment Test—A closed book examination containing questions derived from the vendor reference material.
5. Qualification Checklist—A checklist to record and verify when each trainee has demonstrated the skills outlined in the module objectives.
6. Workbook Answer Transparencies—Transparencies for reviewing workbook questions and answers as a group.
7. Test Answer Transparencies—Transparencies for reviewing knowledge assessment test questions and answers as a group.
