Everyone understands the importance of using training as a means to optimize a factory's molding processes. The training program should offer convenience, for group or individual settings, with a proven injection-molding curriculum. This presentation details an efficient and economical system that offers rapid development of trainers, in order to establish such an in-house training program in injection molding. With this program, a company's investments are basically a commitment to train its work force, the availability of a training room, and the use of free interactive training software.
Who should attend?
Any company that is serious about training its injection molding work force.
