Question

At Haptic Manufacturing, all employees are required to take safety training every six months. The top executives understand the importance of the training but also know that putting all employees through the training every six months is down time for the plant. They have devised a way to have all employees take the training that will keep the plant fully operational and compliant with the training requirement. How do you think they solved the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

The top executives at Haptics manufacturing can manage the requirement of taking all employees through every six months without affecting the full operations at the manufacturing plant by Scheduling

Explanation:

Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling and optimizing work and workloads in a production process or manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes and purchase materials.

In this case, scheduling will be used to plan human resources by creating a rooster that will effectively allocate every employees safety training according to their schedule

The overall schedule will create room for those that will be training as well as those that will be working so that work and training will happen simultaneously.

Scheduling is usually handled by  the Human Resources Team.

Answer 2

Answer:

Options to the question include ;

A. They developed on-the-job learning and development.

B. They created cross-sector teams so no one team had to shut down.

C. They hired a trainer to go to each employee individually.

D. They created microtrainings which could be done on breaks.

E. They required off-the-job learning and development.

D. They created microtrainings which could be done on breaks

Explanation: Engaging all workers in the training while also keeping the plant fully operational might have been made possible by splitting the training into modules, such that instead of undergoing the whole training schedule at once, it could be broken down into smaller chunks such that employees can take it up in bits during breaks. In this manner, all employees aren't required to undergo the session simultaneously, rather employees take their training in batches when break is due.
