PLC Ladder Logic Training by Scientific Management Techniques Predicts Employee Success

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 12, 2012 - The PLC Ladder Logic Training is for users working with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) who require familiarity with the basic concepts of PLCs and their unique language, Ladder Logic. This course is a must for anyone interested in moving to automation in the production, assembly, or testing of manufactured goods. The introduction of Ladder Logic is designed as an entry level program taking users into the world of PLCs, which are common in most manufacturing environments today. This course is designed as a primer for advanced levels of interfacing with PLCs and their programming.

The course is intended for technicians, electricians, mechanics, maintainers, engineers, and anyone starting to work with programmable logic controllers. Participants should have a basic understanding of electro-mechanical control devices and electrical circuits. Basic electrical knowledge, including the ability to read schematics is desirable. A familiarity with basic computer structure and operation is helpful.

Each lesson in the PLC Program has been designed for use with groups of 2 to 20 trainees. Objectives are clearly stated at the beginning of each lesson in terms of performance. New concepts are graphically presented and immediately applied in a variety of work-related situations. Software, hardware, work sheets, and training models are combined in the exercise portion of the lesson for maximum effectiveness.

Stephen Berry, President of SMT, noted, “When the program is completed each trainee retains a set of permanent reference materials that are designed to measure their ability to select and apply appropriate concepts in typical work situations. While not every shop application can be anticipated, each instructor is encouraged to adapt the lessons as he sees fit to suit specific company applications.”

Scientific Management Techniques, www.scientific-management.com, has delivered industrial skills training and assessment services for four decades. There are two primary objectives when providing industrial training delivers highly effective training that immediately impacts productivity, and delivers the training quickly and efficiently returning manpower back to production as soon as possible

SMT achieves these objectives due to the demand-driven curriculum design and the extensive use of over two hundred (200) hands-on training aids. The on-going skills shortage mandates this robust curriculum and training methodology; it translates efficiently into formal education as schools work with industry to identify effective training solutions creating workers with the required skillsets.  SMT continues to deliver training in industrial facilities and works closely with schools and community colleges.

Scientific Management Techniques is the global leader in performance-based skill assessments for industry. The assessment capabilities, together with demand-driven skills training program, are used in manufacturing and education organizations in thirty-one countries to solve the skills shortage and drive industrial productivity.
