Dr. Abbott Requested that Abby create two lists that include needs and constraints:
Our Needs Replace a large number of lifelong skilled employees in 90 days. Continue producing at current levels Choose lead personnel Train entirely new workforce Train for three shifts Our Constraints Create and deliver a training program in 90 days Cannot interrupt production Current operators are not interested in training new personnel No current apprenticeship type program Low light/High noise Low communication ability on the production floor

Abbys Observations Abby observed a few things about the manufacturing process, first the pace was much faster that she expected and as a result it made it difficult to write the steps down.

Abbys Observations What did Abby observe while on the plant floor that can help her in creating the training? Abby realized that the operators were the key to making the training a success. I think another opportunity she observed was that Andrew used hand signals to communicate with her.

Instructional Strategies
Given the constraints in the case, what instructional strategies can be used to deliver the training? There is no new technology being introduced according to Smith & Ragan pg. 46 we will be using the discrepancy model. This model is best suited to situations where the learning goals are already defined (Smith & Ragan, 2005).

What is, and What Ought to be
What is and what ought to be are two distinctly different situations especially at FDM. What is, is that the entire workforce of the most experienced employees are going to retire in the next 90 days.

The ADDIE Model
The model that could be used to bridge the gap would be to use the ADDIE model. This model begins with Analysis which will size up the scenario and lead the designer to a design that will best fit the situation.

Evaluation instruments
Evaluation instruments will include initially an Entry Skills Assessment. Through the process we hope to not only train individuals but identify leaders who will be capable of training new employee for the future as a result of need we need to implement an entry skills assessment.
