| January - May 2005 The Need: To reduce training time, design a consistent training for all new hires, create written content of the training process. Magee Rieter came to the IIT to develop preliminary training. This interactive training is for training new employee before starting the mentoring phase. The training content consists of operating machinery. This opportunity to provide Magee Rieter with self-paced training proved to be challenging in gathering content. Students gained experience by having weekly meetings with the client to gather the necessary information for the design and development processes. The self-paced training was developed in Macromedia Flash MX 2004. The training included interactive instruction with practice items, pictures, video, and assessment items for Magee Rieter.

The Client: Magee Rieter Automotive Systems (MRAS) is located internationally. The main office is in Bloomsburg , Pennsylvania . Showing its leadership in the industry, in the United States Magee Rieter has been awarded the General Motors QSTP award for 12 consecutive years. Magee Rieter worked with the IIT to develop a self-paced course with three modules on the manufacturing process of floor mats for new employees. The goal of the training is to increase the quality of floor mats made by new employees; as a result this will reduce scrap rates that are costly. |
