How to use it
Your first 15 minutes
The 4 steps below run in the order they are numbered, and by the last one you run the monthly five-minute review.
Load the roster. Open the Employee Roster tab and enter your people with their role, line, and shift. Line and shift drive the coverage rollup, so set them for everyone.
Pick the certifications that apply. Trim the Training Requirements and Certification Catalog tabs to what your plant requires, and enter your own renewal intervals. The sample intervals are examples, not requirements.
Mark current status and dates. Fill in completion dates on the Training Matrix and expiration dates on the Certification Tracker for everything already done. Leave a cell blank if it is not done.
Run the monthly five-minute review. Open the Dashboard, work the expired and expiring items, check the coverage flags, and book what needs booking. Twice a year, run the audit checklist walk.
