Training has to be followed by immediate action to be effective.
I have been to training seminars too many times where I have forgotten some of the material after a few weeks. Often, very little from the training is ever implemented in the plant, even though the company has spent thousands of dollars to get just that, implementation . In order to generate better results from training our company has combined training and implementation in a one-week training session. During this training visible results are guaranteed. The training is focused on improving reliability of equipment and to lower maintenance cost.
