the knowledge andability to apply a procedure or process, e.g., filling out a
check requisition form
PRACTICE
Give examples from work (eg. Voice Mail, Computer Log-on)
EDUCATION VS. OJT
Education focuses onthe instructor; OJT focuses onthe trainee.
Educationaltesting measures the student; OJT tests measure program
effectiveness,the trainer and the trainee.
Education accepts distribution of learning; OJT requires all trainees to do
well.
Education is intended to serve the student; OJT is intended to serve the
organization.
The student is responsible for learning in Education;the trainer/subject
matter expert is responsible with OJT.
With education learning is the solution to a myriad of problems; OJT is
sometimes only a partial solution.
With education there is a belief that learning is always good;sometimes
OJT can be harmful
ADVANTAGES OF OJT

OTJ EFFECTIVENESS
THE KEY IS NOT
What you want to present
How you want to present it
What techniques you will use
THE KEY IS
Knowing behavioral objectives
Knowing required learning outcomes
WRITING OJT OBJECTIVES
1. Task Statement
2. Conditions
3. Performance Standard
PRACTICE: Decide which are good OJT objectives
1. Using a controlled sample of 50 vials, the trainee will be able to correctly
identify and record7 defects within 1 minute.
2. The trainee will know how to operate the bundler efficiently.
3. Given a set of circumstances, the trainee will be able to make a log book
entry in compliance with company standards.
4. From a tablet analysis report with 20 readings, the trainee will be able to
correctlycalculate the tablet weight mean and standard deviation.
5. Given a copy of the secretariesmanual, and a handwritten letter, the
trainee will type a business letter according to company standards.
6. Participants will learn to identify product defects.
SEQUENCING OJT CONTENT
1. Follow the normal sequence
2. Teachpre-requisite tasks first
3. Start with the most difficult task
4. Start with an enjoyable task
DETERMINING OJT SEQUENCING
1. What is the trainee ready for?
2. Which steps are easiest: and which are more complex?
3. Is there any step that is the center of interest?
4. Which steps provide skills or knowledge essential to other steps?
For example,
Select Prepare Sketch Paint Prepare
theme paints construction subject frame
lines
Select Prepare Paint Seal Mount
canvas canvas background surface painting
PRACTICE
Pretend you are about to instruct someone to serve as a temporary back-up to you in your current
job. List your critical job responsibilities.
Review the four factors above. Which factor most applies to each job responsibility?
OJT Practice Exercises and Materials
Anytime a step requires acquisition of a skill or application, in-depth instruction should be
followed by practice before going on to the next step.
Example:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 PRACTICE Step 4
Daily-life Obvious, Use of Obvious,
skill simple resource not simple
application familiar to application
of daily-life participants of resource
skill
PRACTICE
If your participants have no experience with woodwork tools or carpentry, where would you
insert practice?
Drill holes Screw 4 Nail bottom Solder pins nail
where marked sides together in place into holes top
PRACTICE
If participants have experience with woodwork, carpentry and the tools required, except for
soldering - where would you insert a practice exercise?
Drill holes Screw 4 Nail bottom Solder pins nail
where marked sides together in place into holes top
PRACTICE
Select a simple job responsibility. Break it into steps. Determine where you would insert
practice. Describe a practice activity and how you would assess the trainees understanding and
ability to perform the job responsibility.
OJT JOB AIDS
Job aids are devices used frequently to complement OJT. A job aid may take the
form of such things as a printed checklist, a step-by-step manual, or a plastic
measuring wheel. Whatever its form, the job aid provides on-the-job information
and instruction.
GUIDELINES FOR USING JOB AIDS
WHEN TO USE
Use job aids for instructions in:
Infrequently performed tasks, whether simple or complex. For example,
performing a simple calculation or assembling complicated testing equipment.
Infrequently performed tasks involving high risk to either the employee or
expensive equipment. Forexample, operating a fire extinguisher near highly
flammable materials.
Tasks that are complicated or that have many steps. For example, filing a
federal income tax return
Tasks that require close attention to detail because of risk to either the employee
or expensive equipment. Forexample, preparing an airplane for flight.
Tasks with frequent changes in performance. Forexample, tasks relying on
rapidly changing technology.
WHEN NOT TO USE
Job aids are not always appropriate. Use some other method of instruction, not a
job aid, for:
Tasks requiring quick responseor quick completion. For example, assembly
line tasks.
Situations where using a job aid could have a negative effect on customers. For
example, performing service tasks that a customer would expect the company
technician to know by heart.
CONSTRUCTING OJT JOB AIDS
Analyze the job responsibility in question to determine whether a job aid is
appropriate. Base your analysis on the "When to Use" and "When Not to Use" lists.
If a job aid is appropriate, follow these construction steps:
Determine whether the task should be supported by a job aid alone or by a job
aid and some other instructional method. Base your decision on the amount of
information recall needed to perform the task, the complexity of the task, and
the skills required in using the job aid.
- If recall is needed, instruction and practice in recalling information are needed
in addition to the job aid.
- If the task is complex, demonstration and practice in performing the task with
the job aid are necessary.
- If using the job aid is skill in itself (such as using a able of numbers or a
resource manual), training in that skill is needed.
Determine the main performance requirement for the task. Choosefrom these
requirements:
- Making decisions that are complex but that involve no sequence. For example,
"Take order if request is for first version of product, no matter what quantity is
requested. Take order for second version of productif quantity requested is less
than five: otherwise refer caller to marketing division. . ."
- Making decisions within a sequence. For example, "Press #1 on system,
requesting go-ahead. If receive, press SEND button. If do not receive go-ahead,
press RETRY.
- Making decisions leading to alternate sequences. Forexample, "If contents of
test tube turn green, follow these steps . . ."
- Following a sequence that involves no decisions. For example, "Lift receiver.
Press RECALL. Dial 115. Listen for three short tones. . ."
Decide format for the job aid. It can be anything from a wallet-size card to a
desktop printed stand to a stick-on label for equipment. Ask questions such as
these:
- How will the job aid be used? Forexample, will the employee be sitting at a
desk or walking around while using the job aid?
- How often will the job aid be used: Must it be built to last through frequent use?
- Will the job aid go with particular piece of equipment? Forexample, will the
job aid consist of operating instructions that should be affixed to the
equipment?
Write text for the job aid. Include these elements:
- Name of the job responsibility.
- Who should use the job aid.
- When to use the job aid.
- How to use the job aid.
- Any assumed conditions or prior events necessary for using the job aid.
- Any equipment or supplies necessary for using the job aid.
Follow these writing guidelines:
- Write clearly and specifically. Use short, concise, concrete terms.
Keep sentences short.
- Use as few words as possible. Only include directions for performing the job.
Do not include information on such things as the logic behind the job
responsibility.
- Highlight critical words by italicizing, underlining, or typing in all capital
letters. Always highlight the word "not."
Designand producethe job aid.
Testthe effectiveness and accuracy of the job aid.
Maintain current and highly effective job aids.
PREPARE THE TRAINEE
Check levelof interest.
Grab interest, focusedon the subject.
Establishwhy learn this.
Let trainee(s)know what to look for.
Use the WHOLE - PARTS - WHOLE approachto provide an overview of
what is expected. This helps focus on what is to be learnedbefore getting into
details.
PRESENT THE TRAINING
Show, tell and instruct the trainee concerning the job responsibility.
Use terms that are specific.
Use training aids when appropriate.
Provide repeatedpractice at eachstep requiring proficiency and skill.
Achieve competence through questions:
- Ask trainee to explain what has just been done.
- Ask trainee to identify deviations from presented techniques.
- Ask how presentedtechniques could have avoided a problem.
- Ask what, when and why things are going correctly.
Use side-by-side technique for demonstrations.
Introduce exceptions only after normal procedure is "lockedin."
REINFORCE TRAINING
Make sure that trainee knows where and when to ask for help.
Require performance of whole process on-the-job.
Ask for explanations during performance.
- what are you doing?
- how are you doing it?
- why are you doing it that way?
- how would you handle keyexceptions on-the-job?
Provide constructive and productive feedback.
Encourage peerfeedback during performance.
Encourage self-developmentand self-management.
PRACTICE: PREPARE, PRESENT & REINFORCE
Instructions: Record observations during example for each stepyou observe. Be prepared
to share with group during discussion.

Subject: Technical Training Customer Survey for Fiscal Year Tasks and Projects
The following information will be presented and discussed at the P&E Staff meeting on
November 7. This is to inform you of the Customer Survey, the Technical Trainer assignments
by area, the survey approach, the survey results, the recommendations and the proposed action
plan to address the identified tasks and projects. Call Mitch Manning at extention 72810 if you
have questions, or recommendations, that you want to discuss before the meeting.
CUSTOMER SURVEY OVERVIEW
Survey Objectives:
Identify specific customer training tasks and projects by area.
Document the diversity of requests across P&E Unit.
Group training requests into major categories.
Estimate resource requirements to complete identified tasks and projects.
Contrast resource requirements with available resources.
Initiate action planning by area to prioritize tasks and projects.
Survey Background and Approach:
The Technical Training Specialists - Natural Work Team conducted area customer surveys between July
13, xx and September 7, xx. They collected information from one-on-one meetings and correspondence
in assigned areas. They asked "how do you want my time spent in Fiscal Year?" The responses were
compiled into lists of tasks, projects and responsibilities by TTS/Division. Start dates and completion
dates were identified when provided by management. (Note: The TTSs have continued to review and
refine the compiled information with their assigned line management and Division Managers.)
TTS Assignments by Area:
Area TTS
Engineering Division Mike
Logistics Administration Frank
Pharmaceutical Production Services, Small Scale Formulations Jerry
and Ointments, Creams & Liquids Formulations Divisions
Primary Manufacturing Division Jim
Solid Dose Formulation Division (Packaging and Manufacturing) Ernest
SPF & Manufacturing Documentation Control & Validation Division Jean
Sterile Products Division Frank
Greenville Site Mitch
RESULTS OF THE CUSTOMER SURVEY:
A high number of diverse training tasks, projects and responsibilities were identified.
The following major categories were identified:
1. Compliance Training
2. TRIAD
3. Curricula for Active Job Codes
4. Training Plans
5. Training Programs
6. Training Support
7. Performance Audit
8. Work Place Learning Center and General Education Improvement Program (WPLC/GEIP)
Note: See attached chart (DIVERSITY OF CUSTOMER REQUESTS FOR TTS-NWT TASKS
AND PROJECTS BY CUSTOMER AREA)
The POTENTIAL CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS PER MAJOR TRAINING CATEGORY (hours
required annually) were calculated. Requirements exceedTTS capacity.
Note: See attached charts for POTENTIAL CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS and KEY STATISTICS
FOR TTS-NWT CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS PLANNING.
Other Results of the Customer Survey:
Key issues around roles, responsibilities and customer expectations were identified.
1. Some line managers believe the TTS is responsible for job related employee qualifications.
2. Some line managers believe that the TTS is responsible and accountable for all SOP
training and documentation.
The understanding of technical and regulatory training compliance needs was enhanced.
1. CFR 211.25 - Personnel Qualifications was reviewed and discussed.
2. SOPs 2-6010-0036 - Technical Training and Qualification and 2-6010-0046 - TRIAD were
reviewed and discussed.
Note: These SOPS have been rewritten and approved for site-wide application by Ranthi Dev,
Joyce Aydlett, Dr. John Bettis and Dr. Craig Williams. Mandatory training for line management
will be completed by December 12, 1994.
The customers indicated an enhanced appreciation for the TTS direction and support for regulatory
training compliance.
Customers and TTSs have indicated that they think the survey was value-added.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Establish a Training Task Force in each area to do the following:
1. Review the Customer Survey to identify opportunities for merging and piggybacking tasks,
projects and responsibilities (eg. Production Technician Training, Packaging Area Technician
Training, Chemical Process Operator Training, Multiskill and SPF Core Curriculum).
2. Review the survey for opportunities to distribute the training workload (eg. SOP pending
training reports to area clerical/secretarial designees)
3. Determine priority, or necessity, and resource requirements of each task, project and
responsibility with regulatory compliance as priority one.
4. Establish agreement on priorities based on resource requirements and contribution to
function.
5. Identify source and allocation of people (time), money, and other required resources.
6. Establish goals, measurement and schedule for each task, project and responsibility.
7. Develop, approve, implement and track Area Specific Training Action Plans.
Submit Requests for Service to Site Training and Development for each required task, project and
responsibility.
Establish minimum compliance training as the highest priority (mandatory without exception).
Develop and maintain curricula for each active job code and use to provide operational control of
minimum compliance training for each employee.
Monitor and manage minimum compliance training utilizing printed reports from Training Database
Administration:
1. First-line supervisor Monthly
2. Middle manager Quarterly
3. Senior manager Interim and Annual
4. Executive manager Annual
Appoint SOP Designees at clerical/secretarial level to provide administrative support (monitor New
and Revised SOPs, prompt required SOP training, prepare and distribute training materials, collect
completed Training Attendance Documents, review with instructor for accuracy and completeness
and ensure timely delivery to Training Database Administration, eg. SDFD pilot program).
Concentrate Technical Training Specialist assignments on approved Requests For Service for new,
or changed, equipment, procedures and regulations within assigned area with expressed approval of
the area Division Manager.
PROPOSED ACTION PLAN:
TTS to review survey with Division Manager or designee(s) November 30, xx
Division Manager or designee establishes Training Task Force November 30, xx
Training Task Force establishes Training Action Plan December 31, xx
Division Managers monitor progress against the plans On-going

Document the diversity of requests across P&E Unit.
Group training requests into major categories.
Estimate resource requirements to complete identified tasks and projects.
Contrast resource requirements with available resources.
Initiate action planning by area to prioritize tasks and projects.
Survey Background and Approach:
The Technical Training Specialists - Natural Work Team conducted area customer surveys between July
13, and September 7, XXXX. They collected information from one-on-one meetings and
correspondence in assigned areas. They asked "how do you want my time spent in xxxx?" The responses
were compiled into lists of tasks, projects and responsibilities by TTS/Division. Start dates and
completion dates were identified when provided by management. (Note: The TTSs have continued to
review and refine the compiled information with their assigned line management and Division
Managers.)

RESULTS OF THE CUSTOMER SURVEY:
A high number of diverse training tasks, projects and responsibilities were identified.
The following major categories were identified:
1. Compliance Training
2. TRIAD
3. Curricula for Active Job Codes
4. Training Plans
5. Training Programs
6. Training Support
7. Performance Audit
8. Work Place Learning Center and General Education Improvement Program (WPLC/GEIP)
Note: See attached chart (DIVERSITY OF CUSTOMER REQUESTS FOR TTS-NWT TASKS
AND PROJECTS BY CUSTOMER AREA)
The POTENTIAL CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS PER MAJOR TRAINING CATEGORY (hours
required annually) were calculated. Requirements exceedTTS capacity.
Note: See attached charts for POTENTIAL CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS and KEY STATISTICS
FOR TTS-NWT CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS PLANNING.
Other Results of the Customer Survey:
Key issues around roles, responsibilities and customer expectations were identified.
1. Some line managers believe the TTS is responsible for job related employee qualifications.
2. Some line managers believe that the TTS is responsible and accountable for all SOP
training and documentation.
The understanding of technical and regulatory training compliance needs was enhanced.
1. CFR 211.25 - Personnel Qualifications was reviewed and discussed.
2. SOPs 2-6010-0036 - Technical Training and Qualification and 2-6010-0046 - TRIAD were
reviewed and discussed.
Note: These SOPS have been rewritten and approved for site-wide application by Senior
Management. Mandatory training for line management will be completed by December 12, xxxx.
The customers indicated an enhanced appreciation for the TTS direction and support for regulatory
training compliance.
Customers and TTSs have indicated that they think the survey was value-added.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Establish a Training Task Force in each area to do the following:
1. Review the Customer Survey to identify opportunities for merging and piggybacking tasks,
projects and responsibilities (eg. Production Technician Training, Packaging Area Technician
Training, Chemical Process Operator Training, Multiskill and SPF Core Curriculum).
2. Review the survey for opportunities to distribute the training workload (eg. SOP pending
training reports to area clerical/secretarial designees)
3. Determine priority, or necessity, and resource requirements of each task, project and
responsibility with regulatory compliance as priority one.
4. Establish agreement on priorities based on resource requirements and contribution to
function.
5. Identify source and allocation of people (time), money, and other required resources.
6. Establish goals, measurement and schedule for each task, project and responsibility.
7. Develop, approve, implement and track Area Specific Training Action Plans.
Progress: It was not deemed necessary to form Task Forces. The review and planning was handled
by ST&D and line management in each area. 1. The survey was reviewed to merge and piggyback
projects.
2. The workload was distributed within ST&D and in the area. All areas are using SOP designees.
3. Priorities have been established per the attached Action Plans. 4. Same as #3. 5. Resource
management will be on-going. 6. Target dates were set. Other goals and measurements need
additional work. 7. Action Plans are attached.
Submit Requests for Service to Site Training and Development for each required task, project and
responsibility.
Progress: All areas are submitting RFSs for training needs not identified in the Action Plans.
Establish minimum compliance training as the highest priority (mandatory without exception).
Progress: Compliance training is the highest priority in each area.
Develop and maintain curricula for each active job code and use to provide operational control of
minimum compliance training for each employee.
Progress: More than 250 curricula have been compiled and entered into TRIAD for the operative
and craft positions. More than 200 professional/technical/management curricula have been
completed.
Monitor and manage minimum compliance training utilizing printed reports from Training Database
Administration:
1. First-line supervisor Monthly
2. Middle manager Quarterly
3. Senior manager Interim and Annual
4. Executive manager Annual
Progress: TRIAD training in all areas has enabled management/supervision to track training on
an on-going basis.
Appoint SOP Designees at clerical/secretarial level to provide administrative support (monitor New
and Revised SOPs, prompt required SOP training, prepare and distribute training materials, collect
completed Training Attendance Documents, review with instructor for accuracy and completeness
and ensure timely delivery to Training Database Administration, eg. SDFD pilot program).
Progress: SOP designees have been appointed and trained in all areas. There have been no
complaints with the work that they have performed.
Concentrate Technical Training Specialist assignments on approved Requests For Service for new,
or changed, equipment, procedures and regulations within assigned area with expressed approval of
the area Division Manager.
Progress: The Technical Training Specialist and ST&D staff assignments have become more
focused on technical training assignments through RFSs.

Thanks for providing the references on mergers and acquisitions. I had no idea when we talked
that Wellcome Plc was about to be acquired. It looks as if we will soon be Glaxo Wellcome Plc.
The books will be useful in understanding the process. Hopefully, I will be able to enhance my
effectiveness during the transition as a result of the information you have provided. Thanks very
much.
Sincerely,

The procedure is as follows:
I. SCOPE
This SOP will address only those activities associated with orienting
and training new employees in their job duties, qualifying employee
proficiency, meeting regulatory requirements and providing ongoing
training as may be necessary to maintain employee knowledge and skill
levels. Career development and advancement training, such as that
provided through apprenticeship programs, will not be covered by this
SOP.
II. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1 Designated Individual
A. DIVISION MANAGER
As stated throughout this SOP, it is primarily the responsibility
of the Division Manager to ensure that the requirements of this
SOP are met. However, the specific action required to meet this
objective will be accomplished through the delegation of this
responsibility to Department Heads, Supervision, Technical
Training Specialists, and the Supervisor - Operative Technical
Training.
B. TECHNICAL TRAINING SPECIALIST
The role of the Technical Training Specialist is to coordinate the
development, implementation, and documentation of training
programs for the non-exempt production and engineering staff in
their respective division(s).
C. DEPARTMENTAL TRAINING PROCEDURES
Each division shall establish a divisional and/or departmental
technical training procedure that provides for proper
administration and documentation of training within their groups.
These procedures will be in compliance with the guidelines
provided in this document.
D. BUDGETS
ST&D will budget, based on division input, for operative technical
training and CGMP training. It shall be the responsibility of
each Division Manager to budget funds necessary to obtain training
programs, materials, audio visual aids, etc. as may be required
to provide the necessary job training for non-operative employees
within the division. In addition, where specialized training can
only be acquired by bringing in outside specialists or sending
employees out to vendor and supplier schools, it is the cost
center manager's responsibility to ensure that course
registration, travel and outside services funds are budgeted.
Programs for unit wide topics will be budgeted for and developed
by ST&D based on direction from the Training Steering Committee.
Programs for the Technical Lecture Series and Technical Training
Series will be funded by P&E Administration. The Training
Steering Committee and the High Technology Committee will approve
the topics for these programs.
E. BASIC JOB TRAINING CURRICULUM
Each Division Manager shall be responsible for insuring that a
training curriculum is established for each job classification
assigned to cost centers in his/her division. This curriculum
shall include division/department orientation, job training,
related technical instruction, safety instruction and CGMP
Regulations training requirements. All new employees shall be
required to complete all courses listed on their training
curriculum. In addition, all applicable SOP's for each job shall
be identified and included as part of the training curriculum
requirements for each job.
F. EMPLOYEE QUALIFICATION
It shall be the responsibility of the Division Manager to insure
that training requirements are established and maintained for each
position in his/her cost centers. The basic training requirements
for a new employee shall include:
1. Successful completion of appropriate curriculum courses.
2. Training on all SOP's related to the employee's job.
3. Successful demonstration of critical job skills.
G. ONGOING/REINFORCEMENT TRAINING
Division Managers shall be responsible for insuring that
appropriate reinforcement training is provided to their staff such

insuring that training is provided on an ongoing basis as may be
necessary to comply with regulatory requirements and to meet the
changing job demands created by the introduction of new technology
and equipment. To meet this requirement, each division shall
establish an annual training plan for all employees in their area.
This plan shall provide for formal training for each employee in
addition to regular SOP training. The amount and type of training
required for each employee or position will be evaluated and
discussed during their performance review. From this, a training
plan for the next year will be developed.
H. TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROCEDURES
It shall be the responsibility of each Division Manager that
utilizes outside temporary employees or employees temporarily
assigned from another division to insure that a temporary employee
training procedure is established and followed within their
department. This procedure shall include an outline or list of
training requirements and copies of training log sheets, forms,
etc. to be utilized in administering and documenting this
training.
I. COURSE ABSTRACTS
