Functional Analysis of Needs
- Creating the expression of the need and the APTE diagrams
- Inputting the Life Phases
- Searching for functions: Brainstorming, building, and the ergonomics of the diagram
- Organization of functions as a tree: Characterizing functions and putting them in order
- Printing the Functional Performance Specifications
Skill building
Skill building is strengthened through the implementation of the following steps throughout the initial training program:
- Overview of concepts (by the trainer)
- Demonstration of the concepts in the software program (by the trainer)
- Familiarization with the concepts and software program (hands-on use by participants)
- Independent sessions (hands-on use by participants with help from the trainer, if needed)
The day dedicated to skill building and sharpening will be planned according to customer context. The training time will include dialogue with the trainer about all the points needing to be addressed following the initial instruction and/or requiring more advanced practice when using the software suite. → if Option 1 selected
Report, corrections, and additional information
All examples proposed will be presented and then corrected in order to review the difficulties participants encountered.
Conclusion
- Q&A
- Knowllence’s recommendations for use within your teams
Audience
Staff working in quality, methods, production, or the design office who must use the program according to the 1st Edition AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook.
Prerequisites
The contracting party will ensure that participants have received prior training regarding the 1st Edition AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook.
Method used
Technical and organizational means:
If the training takes place at your site
- Training room equipped with 1 PC per person with Internet connection (a maximum of 2 participants per PC accepted) + video projector provided by the customer.
- Knowllence will provide temporary software licences to be installed in partnership with your IT Department before the first session.
- If needed, a remote meeting (using screen share) will be scheduled to validate the computer setup in the training room before the first session.
If the training takes place remotely
- Knowllence will prepare access to the software program in partnership with your IT Department if needed.
- The default platforms used for remote training sessions are Teams or GoToMeeting, but any other videoconferencing tool can work.
- Please provide the required materials and a calm space appropriate for training to the participants. In a telework situation, you must provide the following:
- An Internet connection strong enough to partake in videoconference training
- For each participant, a system to see and be seen, listen, and speak: A computer with a webcam, if possible + speakers or headphones + microphone.
If the training uses blended learning
- All the measures for remote training will apply.
- The training sequences will be divided into face-to-face time with the trainer and self-learning time. The contracting party commits to allowing the trainee to schedule the time for the self-training within the given deadlines.
Teaching methods and required work
Using the video projector and several practical examples, the trainer will demonstrate how to use the software program by:
- observation
= presentation by the trainer; the participants are not active - guided action
= simultaneous use (trainer + participants on their PCs) - practice
= participants work on their PCs
The training will use an example provided by either the customer or Knowllence.
Evaluation methods
Skills acquired survey
On-the-spot training satisfaction survey
