In September, 2024, On Time Edge announced a fresh, new approach to self-paced and virtual instructor-led training for supply chain platforms and manufacturing operations systems.
For over fifteen years, manufacturing companies and supply chain organizations have trusted On Time Edge with their consulting, system implementation, and systems integration needs. That has always included empowering end users to achieve results, which starts with building skills.
In today's technology-enabled manufacturing and supply chain enterprise, having the right skills is paramount to unlocking the full potential of any system. We teach end users how to effectively navigate, use, and leverage their system. It doesn't matter if it's an MES or OEE tool, a supply chain platform, a production scheduling application, a project management solution, or any other plant or enterprise system. As a result, we empower them to make a substantial difference in operational efficiency, decision-making, and outcomes.
By providing world-class training, we ensure users understand the mechanics of their software and become adept at using it to its fullest capacity. This robust learning foundation builds confidence, proficiency, and the capability for independent innovation and troubleshooting. The result is end users who are more equipped to optimize processes, drive sustainable value, and contribute meaningfully to the organization's success. The On Time Edge Learning Center is dedicated to fostering this growth, offering educational resources designed to meet the diverse learning needs of our clients.
It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed when you encounter a new system. One of the primary reasons is the steep learning curve associated with unfamiliar technology. Users may struggle to understand interfaces, workflows, and the powerful features that a new system offers. This complexity can be daunting, especially for those who are less tech-savvy or applying technology in a way that's new to them to processes they've performed for a long time. The Learning Center by On Time Edge softens the learning curve, and delivers the skills and knowledge required to master foundational concepts, so end users feel prepared, knowledgeable, and confident with the system interface, features, and workflows.
Additionally, today's tech evolves at a rapid pace, which means that systems are frequently updated with new functionalities and enhancements. Keeping up with these changes can be a significant source of stress for users who probably feel comfortable with the previous version. Moreover, inadequate training and support during a transition phase can exacerbate these feelings, leaving users to fend for themselves and figure things out through trial and error. The Learning Center by On Time Edge eliminates "the unknown" by closing the knowledge gap between software versions, so end users can leverage the latest technology to improve their effectiveness.
Another common challenge is the fear of making mistakes that could disrupt operations or lead to data loss. This anxiety can hinder users from fully exploring the system's capabilities, thereby limiting their potential productivity and effectiveness. Furthermore, users often face pressure to quickly become proficient in the new system while still managing their regular responsibilities, creating a sense of being overwhelmed by the increased workload. The Learning Center by On Time Edge provides a path to mastery so end users can focus on the business of using the system to solve problems and deliver operational results instead of worrying about "how to run the software."
The lack of training paths that cater to various learning styles and proficiency levels can also contribute to the struggle. Users may find generic training resources ineffective, leading to frustration and a lack of confidence in using a new system. The Learning Center by On Time Edge recognizes these challenges and addresses them through comprehensive, user-focused training programs. We alleviate the worry and empower users to harness the full potential of their systems.
Learning programs by On Time Edge are practical hands-on training and much more — they are immediately actionable, so you start using your knowledge to perform day-to-day work, solve problems, and improve performance.
The On Time Edge Learning Center is where people go to learn how their smart manufacturing or supply chain system works and how to get the most out of it.
