Title: MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN TRAINING: AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE
Abstract: Over the years technology has changed to the point that employees can no longer learn their job through observation. Technological change is occurring so fast that the technician cannot advance in proficiency by using the outmoded methods of watch me and learn. People, and the skills they possess, are the greatest and most expensive assets an organization has. Managing these assets involves not only managing a very costly asset for today, but also managing the future of the organization. This paper provides information on the importance of needs-driven training of maintenance technicians; the opportunities for cost-free training from manufacturers; the importance of continuous review of all training; the growing importance of contract management; and the vital role of preventive maintenance.
