Industry View
 


Process industries, more than most industries today, are facing intense competition and increasing regulation. These dynamics are changing the nature of work, the knowledge requirements, and the skills workers need to perform.

Successful process manufacturing companies are addressing these issues through investments in intellectual capital - the training and development of their workforce. They recognize that safe operations, improved efficiency, high quality and compliance all depend on a more knowledgeable workforce.

Serious challenges include:

  Industry Consolidation / Establishing Best Practices
 

Aligning newly-acquired organizations with established best practices and sharing knowledge is critical to meeting performance and corporate compliance objectives

  Consolidation of operations jobs within facilities requires workers to possess and maintain broader skill sets
  Skilled Workforce Attrition
  Retiring "baby boomers" have extensive experience that cannot be immediately replaced
  More knowledgeable workers are needed to fill vacancies created by retiring workers
  Training Resource Limitations
  Traditional training paradigms primarily utilize generic "pre-packaged" training programs that do not address job-specific knowledge proficiency
  Hours available for traditional training are reaching cost effective limits and operators are getting close to information overload
  Compliance Mandates
  Process manufacturing sites are heavily regulated environments for safety, environmental and quality standards
  Regulations will continue to expand the knowledge required, the sites covered and the workforce impacted
