Requirement

The company required the following products:

– a Training and Operating Manual

– Lecture Packs

– Permit to Work Computer-Based Training

Project

Orchid was selected for all three products. Orchid’s experience in providing operating procedures, training material and computer based training meant that all three products could be originated and produced ‘in house’.

Training and Operations Manual

A multi-functional document; to be used by existing Operators in the day-to-day operation of the facilities, and also by new Operators as an essential source of reference information. Contains both simplified and detailed diagrams illustrating production and utility systems and equipment.

Lecture Packs

Produced in parallel to the Training and Operations Manual. Each pack forms the basis of a training lecture on a production or utility system and consists of a lecture plan, lecturer’s notes and OHP slides.

Permit to Work Computer Based Training

A self-learning Computer Based Training system, distributed by CD-ROM, aimed at ensuring that all personnel on the facilities, both customer employees and contractors, become familiar with, and able to actively operate within, the Permit to Work System. The Computer Based Training system was based on the clients own Permit to Work System, as the client wished to avoid any possible operational errors that could result from training using any of the readily-available generic training systems. A Student Tracking Database, administered by a customer-nominated Supervisor, tracks and records the progress of all personnel using the System. The System includes a graded test module enabling the competency of all personnel to operate the Permit to Work System to be established. All three products were completed on time and within budget and Orchid are currently working on updates to the products, resulting from the initiation of a second phase of development.
