Operator training relies on informal knowledge

Training materials are disconnected from hands-on operation, making it difficult for new staff to establish consistent procedures.

Research Focus: Industrial Equipment and Professional ToolsProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Document experienced operators' task sequences and tacit decision-making.
  2. Turn key steps, states and escalation points into location-specific guidance.
  3. Fill information gaps through task tests with new staff.

Key Deliverables

  • Operational Knowledge Map
  • Training Cards
  • Task Rehearsal Log

Verification Approach

Compare missed steps, troubleshooting and unassisted completion.
