Manufacturing Training
While learning on the job can sometimes have advantages, there are enumerable risks when operating complex manufacturing equipment. In fact, the results of this approach to Manufacturing Training can be downright disastrous. Well-conceived and delivered training in manufacturing not only helps avoid accidents but also helps maintain quality and efficiency.
What is Manufacturing Training?
Manufacturing Training is multifaceted. It often includes programming and using specific equipment, learning and applying proprietary manufacturing processes, and covering universally applicable topics such as quality and safety. In an ideal world, employees receive initial training as new hires, followed by refreshers and updates to maintain quality, safety, and efficiency and meet compliance and continuous improvement requirements.
Your internal best practices make you competitive and profitable, especially in manufacturing. Appropriate training builds on a solid foundation of universally applicable content and practices that will give you that competitive edge. We then work with you to integrate content unique to your operations into a comprehensive program. You might even call it your Manufacturing Training University.

Manufacturing Training Expertise
Our proven SAVVY approach to program development ensures each solution is customized to meet your specific needs. Here’s how it works. We typically spend two or more days listening to you describe and define everything pertinent to our program development efforts, such as:
- Critical outcomes regarding the number of employees trained—new hires and existing, and skills to be acquired.
- Training objectives such as improving safety records, reducing penalties for non-compliance, and consistently achieving quality targets.
- Infrastructure resources supporting how we can reach your employees.
- How you will measure, demonstrate, and report success.
At Allen Interactions, we design our Manufacturing Training solutions not just to teach but to transform.
Is a Manufacturing Training Program Right for Your Team?
What can you expect from implementing a Manufacturing Training program for your organization? For starters, you can expect better day-one competency and safety stats from new employees. You can also expect significant reductions in workplace accidents—as much as 40% in the first year.
Improved safety records also translate into increased productivity, primarily through the elimination of equipment downtime and a reduction in lost time hours while delivering cost savings by avoiding injury-related expenses.
The bottom line is that Manufacturing Training is the perfect vehicle to accomplish the following outcomes for your company:
- Improved new and existing employee skills development.
- Faster mastery of quality, safety, and compliance requirements.
- Increased workforce flexibility and adaptability.
When you combine general, universally applicable training with content specific to your equipment, processes, and compliance requirements, you position your company to achieve results similar to those Alcoa experienced, where their commitment to training and safety significantly helped the aluminum giant realize a $27 billion increase in market capitalization over 13 years.
Partnering with the right training provider is crucial in realizing benefits like these, and Allen Interactions has the experience, skills, and track record to fill that role.
