What kind of progress do you expect from new operators at the below specified intervals? We were doing training every Friday but things started getting so busy that we haven't been able to do that for several months.
I learn very quickly and I'm told by people close to me that I expect too much of others that just can't grasp things as fast. While we haven't been doing formal training, I will sometimes call over some that are weaker and have them watch or have them show how to do a basic task like setting a tool or probing a part. I recently had to move my most experienced/sharpest man to another area and some of the skill deficiencies are starting to really show.
So, let's take an operator that spends on average 20 hours a week at two mills. Both the same model with more or less the same control. Say he started with no machining experience.
What CNC mill skills should that guy have picked up by 3 months on the job?
Six months?
9 months?
A year?
For instance, is it "expecting too much" for the above described employee to be able to set a tool or similar duties without going to get help at six months in?
Thanks
