Why In-depth On-site Training?
Time is a precious commodity for any business, and the less time it takes for your employees learning how to effectively write, build and implement Visual Instructor™ into your processes, the more productive the organization can be. With any training, employers want their team to expand its knowledge and gain insights into best practices. They also ideally want them to spend the least amount of time getting up to full speed.

With in-depth on-site training we will teach you selective principles of Lean Six Sigma Manufacturing. These principles are integrated in Visual Instructor™.

We also are available to assist in converting a factory over to visual work instructions.

Example: Our trainers trained and converted a large 300 employee plant to all visual work instructions in Tennessee in 16 weeks using newly trained employees (45 trainees) to create their own visual instructions under supervision (12 weeks for our assistance on an “every other week” schedule until the full factory conversion). The Management team was so satisfied with the results and their ISO Auditors were highly impressed; they awarded the us with a plaque of recognition.

Dr. Steve Blackwell and Jon Ambrose, ME are educators/speakers and will cultivate the passion in your people to create these visual work instructions.
