Train 200 temporary workers on an industrial site

In this project, which lasted 4 months, we had to train 200 temporary workers on a pharmaceutical production site in biotechnology.

The key with temporary workers: to make them understand the context of their job!

In the video, we describe how we structured the information, with the logical levels of NLP:

• Videos of a very high logical level, presenting the disease, and the product that cures the disease
• Videos about the manufacturing process
• Execution videos on how to operate equipment

This structure on several levels is essential to allow temporary workers to understand the environment in which they must operate. In this way, they make fewer mistakes when taking jobs.

An opportunity to target the use of virtual or augmented reality

Our project allowed for a completely unexpected result. We identified one activity in particular that very clearly requires the use of a virtual reality simulator. The aim of this simulator is for temporary workers to be quickly trained for their position. And for less!

Indeed, training temporary workers in this very particular position requires that the trainer and the trainee work in duplicate for about thirty hours. A simulator would allow operators to be trained independently, without support from the supervisor.

In addition, this simulator could be used on several sites doing similar productions.

A few figures

The project was relatively quick to implement on its pilot perimeter.

Analyzing the process, extracting the brain juice, scripting the videos, shooting them, and editing them could be done in a few days. The biggest difficulty was finally publishing in the company's internal systems. Indeed, these systems were not really ready to receive this type of content. So we had to be a bit clever.

In terms of workload, the production supervisors spent about two days with us, shooting included.

Thirty videos have been produced.

An extension to the entire process would bring us to about 200 videos, which can be produced in less than 3 months. The burden of supervisors is then distributed over each sector. So each supervisor would spend 2 days on the subject.

Let's talk about earnings

In terms of gains, they are tangible, even within the pilot perimeter:

• reduction in the training period for temporary workers
• reduction in the number of quality, health and safety incidents

At the scale of the whole process, other gains will be generated:

• opportunity to remove all current operating procedures and training kits because the procedures are then merged with microlearning content. Several hundreds of thousands of euros are saved annually in document maintenance and training.
• opportunity to reduce production errors throughout the production chain.
