Training Plan Dilemma: What Essential Skills Should We Include for Our Packaging Team?

I am working for a flexible packaging company, and I need to prepare a training plan for the coming year. Could you please advise on what kind of training should be included in this plan?

Thank you.

Training Plan Essentials

The training plan must start with four questions:

1. What do you want to achieve?
2. Who are the trainees?
3. How much time will be allotted?
4. Who are the trainers and what is their availability?

Once you let me know, I can assist you in making a training plan.

If you could tell us for whom the training is targeted (sales/engineering/logistics), we could be of better help. For example:

Sales Team Training Needs
The sales team would probably need training related to marketing, project management, and hard or soft selling.

Manufacturing Team Training Needs
The manufacturing team could use training on electrical safety, mechanical fundamentals, PLC, and instrumentation for automation and process control.

Logistics Team Training Needs
The logistics team could use courses on transportation management and supply chain optimization.

Thank you for your reply. The targeted groups for the training are:

1. Salespeople
2. Quality staff
3. Production staff, including machine operators
4. Maintenance team
5. Stores clerks
6. Administration employees

God bless you. You have answered only one question, but you have not addressed your objective, time available, and details of trainers. You are a packaging company, and each category you have mentioned needs different training. They will be available at different timings, and each will have to be spared some time. Please give it one more look and reply.

P.S. A gap of one week to reply reflects that you are too busy or not very concerned about the requirement.

I apologize for the late reply. I would like to provide answers to the questions you asked:

What Do You Want to Achieve?

- To reduce the reject level of the production.
- To ensure the safety of employees.
- To increase customer satisfaction.
- To improve the knowledge of the marketing team about the industry.
- To enhance the quality of production.
- To boost the productivity of employees.

Who Are the Trainees?

- Salespeople.
- Quality staff.
- Production staff, including machine operators.
- Maintenance team.
- Stores clerks.
- Administration employees.

How Much Time Will Be Allotted?

Training should be limited to one day.

Who Are the Trainers and Their Availability?

I cannot provide an answer to this question as I have not decided what kind of training is going to be delivered.

Thanks,
