The SpiraMelt Platicizing Expert course consists of a range of connected topics related to plasticizing. From feed screw design fundamentals, polymer properties, and melt quality, to maintenance best practices, math for molders and plastics processing economics. Our goal is to make you and your team a Plasticizing Expert!
The SpiraMelt Plasticizing Expert course was developed for any personnel that works in and around production. Technicians, process engineers, maintenance departments, QC, and management should all be deeply familiar with the heart of the business – plasticizing.Â
Managers, supervisors, and work cells all benefit when problems are solved or avoided all together. Problem solving can be pushed down the chain of command proactively, leaving resources available to handle specific challenges your business faces. When your entire production team all has a cohesive fundamental understanding of the plasticating process, your business will be streamlined and easier to manage and grow!
Time is the most valuable asset of any business. At SpiraMelt we understand that fully. Our online interactive training course was developed for quick, self-paced learning. Your employees can access their training from anywhere at anytime with an internet connected device. This gives you the flexibility in your unique production schedule to maximize your time. When you invest in your employees, you are investing in your business. The new skills and knowledge gained from training far outweigh the status quo.
When you invest in your employees there can be less obvious, tangible gains. Aside from improving production and profits at a business level, investing in your employees improves morale between team members and departments when there is less friction and finger pointing. There is less tension between employees who come with varied knowledge (sometimes incorrect) when everyone has the same foundational knowledge of the plasticating process.
SpiraMelt offers certification to employees that satisfactorily complete specific courses. SpiraMelt certification is a recognized credential that can be seen on resumes of Plasticizing Experts. Certifications are an excellent way for your business to recognize employee commitment and to establish an organized hierarchy of skills and knowledge that is fair and equitable.
There is always a risk in investing time and resources into employees, new or old. The more valuable your employees become to your organization, the more valuable they can be for any other organization. Turnover is inevitable in every industry, however, happy employees tend to be loyal to their employer. A highly productive, cooperative, and cohesive work environment is far more satisfying than a stressful, uncertain, and undervalued environment. When management shows a commitment to invest in their team through high quality training, employees gain a sense of loyalty and appreciation. Also, if an employee does leave, your newly trained, certified team can quickly help new employees. Training should be part of your onboarding process!
