Dan,

That sounds like an exciting project!  However, you might not want to call it
"school."  There are many people for whom "school" was not a successful
experience.  Those individuals may be resistant to attending or participating
in your training.

Best wishes,

 for manufacturing
 topics. I see formal education in manufacturing topics (shop floor control,
 purchasing, inventory management, lean manufacturing, ISO 9000, etc.) as
 critical to
 continuing the improvement drive.

 I see two kinds of courses. The first is formal education in which we would
 educate
 people on some topic. For example, we might have a four hour class on
 various manufacturing
 methods. I expect to use textbooks as source material and instructors form
 local universities,
 consults (don bombard me yet), and internal people.

 The second kind of class is "spot training". Here we may have a team
 working on some issue and they
 need to make a scatter plot. While they may have been exposed to scatter
 plots, this training would
 give them the skills at the time they need it.

 I'd like to hear from other list members about similar experiences. do you
 have such a school in
 your company? What issues were involved in setting it up? What issues are
 involved in running it?
