| THE ANALYTICAL METHOD OF TRAINING for Lower Costs, Higher Productivity and Lower Labor Turnover The Analytical Method of Training (or A.M. Training as it is widely known) originated in England during World War II as an aid to faster operator training for war-time production. The early development work was carried out by a group of professionals whose backgrounds included Industrial Psychology, Industrial Engineering and Sociology. The A.M. Training technique is distinguished by the following features: OUR APPROACH Our work is a combination of Training, Industrial Engineering and Personnel Management disciplines. Our training specialists are results-oriented professionals who have had several years industrial experience before joining our company. They have been carefully trained to assist our client companies to introduce changes and to obtain improvements with the cooperation and understanding of the client's staff. The first step is a discussion with one of our senior specialists, followed by a short survey to determine the scope for our work, the benefits that may be expected, and the costs involved. When invited to work with a company we do not install "package" programs - neither do we merely make recommendations. Following proven principles and techniques, we assist clients to develop programs suited to their needs and personnel - with full participation of the staff concerned - then work with them to achieve the expected results. A major aspect of our approach is to give thorough training to members of the client's staff so they may continue the work successfully after we leave. In addition to our normal full-time assignments, our specialists are also available for occasional audits, advisory visits and in-house workshops and seminars. We also direct occasional Workshops on the Analytical Method of Training at different locations in the U.S.A. and Europe. Charles Brooks Associates, Inc. has been associated with this method of training since 1949 and has concentrated activities in the United States since 1963. The company has refined and strengthened the A.M. Training technique and has applied it widely in the United States and Europe. Originally designed for fast operator training only, the A.M. Training technique has been broadened in scope and is now being used for training and retraining of Supervisors, Mechanics, Operators, Inspectors and Clerical personnel as well as other employee categories. It has proven to be a very effective tool for achieving improvements in productive performance in a wide range of industries and commercial operations. BENEFITS A.M. Training and Re-training can contribute very significantly to increased profits. Results vary according to the industry and type of operation, but typical results in diverse industries are: Shorter Training Times New employees are trained to skilled performance three times faster. Higher Productivity Department productivity is increased by 10-30% on employee controlled jobs. Improved Quality Controllable waste and off-quality are reduced by 20-30%. Reduced Machine Down-Time Controllable down-time due to repairs, set-ups, changeovers, etc. is reduced by 25%. Reduced "Make-up" "Make-up" pay on employee controlled jobs is reduced by 50%. Improved Inspection Inspection errors are reduced by 10-30%. Lower Labor Turnover Improved skill, confidence and success lead to improved morale and lower labor turnover and improved relations between employees and supervision. |
