Costly onboarding
-
Experts are about to retire, and you need to transfer their knowledge to new recruits.
-
Skilled staff are spending too much time on training and supervision of new staff
-
Lengthy training processes to onboard new staff.
Assembly
Keep the assembly line well-oiled with eye tracking data
Assembly lines need to work as a well-oiled machine, and this means keeping your staff well trained and consistent. Eye tracking empowers you to accelerate training, ensure consistency between different workers on different shifts, and implement a standard operating procedure on the assembly line.
Eye tracking helps you solve
Lack of consistency
-
Variation in skill levels between employees causes quality and production issues.
-
Unclear standard operating procedures lead to inconsistencies in quality and delivery between different teams.
-
Newer employees are taking longer to complete tasks than experienced staff.
With eye tracking you can
Use attention data to identify the visual patterns of experienced assembly line staff in a natural setting, and replay it live.
Replay the recordings allows you to pick up on previously unseen factors and skills that are hard to articulate.
Visualize the techniques of experienced staff allows efficient transfer of skills to newer recruits.
Enable faster training processes that save you time and money.
How it works
1. Visualize
Identify differences and commonalities in attention between experts and non-experts. Combine eye tracking with interviews to get a deeper understanding of reasons and motivations.
2. Standardize
Use eye tracking data and interview answers to create standard operating procedures that are efficient and effective.
3. Improve
Enhance the training process to save cost and time. Standardized data can be used for education, work instructions, and onboarding resources.
