Integrated Performance Assessments (IPA's)

Real-world manufacturing solutions require people who know how to leverage the power of technology: Motivated people who can make a difference for your organization each and every day. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Time constraints, production deadlines, and downtime often leave an integrated human-asset strategy woefully absent from most business plans. The negative results often include:

• Downtime and lost productivity
• Poor product quality
• Missed market opportunities
• Rampant employee turnover
• Reduced profits
  

But imagine an environment where downtime is minimised, and where your talented employees feel valued as contributors to shared success,. Rockwell Automation's global Training Services professionals can get you there with measurable bottom-line results.

An Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) is your first line of defence. The IPA is a focused assessment of your employees’ skill and knowledge related training requirements for effectively using Rockwell Automation products. The IPA helps you plan your training excursion before you begin.

When is an IPA right for you?

The IPA is designed for dynamic, competitive organizations with a strong vision for success. Key motivators for selecting the IPA include:

• When skill gaps or training needs are not obvious
• When the reasons for poor performance is not clearly understood
• Commitment to quality products and customer satisfaction
• Targeted market expansion and new-business goals
• Your employees possess diverse skill sets, but they are largely undocumented and not catalogued
• New technology or processes are being deployed
• Poor job performance is leading to costly downtime or delays
