World’s largest Equipment Manufacturer World’s largest Equipment Manufacturer Is keen to reduce learning time for their new hires – we reduce time to learn by 50%

Background

Training new hires in the equipment industry is a time-intensive process, especially when onboarding them into process-critical areas such as Basics of Manufacturing, Pyro Processing, and Grinding. These domains involve highly integrated operations — from raw material handling, thermal transformation, to precision grinding — each requiring a deep understanding of engineering, chemistry, and real-time plant coordination.

Traditional classroom-based induction programs often overwhelm new employees with heavy theory and minimal context. Additionally, inconsistencies in trainer delivery and limited access to live equipment further reduced training effectiveness.

Recognizing this challenge, our client — one of the world’s largest cement producers — partnered with us to build a structured, modular Learning program that would dramatically accelerate learning and ensure process alignment across plants.

Customer Pain Point / Improvement Opportunity

New hires at the plant were struggling to grasp the end-to-end manufacturing processes—especially in technically demanding areas like kiln operation, clinker cooling, and grinding system controls. Inconsistent knowledge transfer, lack of context-driven learning, and minimal engagement tools resulted in poor retention and increased dependency on senior staff. Additionally, lateral hires with varied prior exposure faced difficulty in aligning with customer’s standardized operating practices, impacting productivity and process consistency.

Our Solution

Conversational Scenario-Based Learning

Realistic dialogue-based situations between supervisors and plant operators were used to anchor technical concepts in practical, relatable contexts.

Simulation & Process Videos

Extensive use of real-time plant operation footage and animated process simulations to demonstrate complex mechanisms (e.g., kiln zones, separators, clinker cooling).

Interactive Learning Models

Click-to-reveal hotspots, drag-and-drop tasks, and decision-based interactions to foster learner participation and engagement.

Microlearning Capsules

Select topics were structured into short, focused modules for quick reference, repeated reinforcement, and just-in-time learning needs.

Frequent Knowledge Checks

Inline questions and scenario-based exercises to validate understanding throughout the learning path.

Assessment Engine

A robust question bank enabled randomized, level-based evaluations to test both conceptual and application knowledge.

Learner Customization

Content was tailored for both freshers and lateral entrants, using pre-assessments to guide progression through foundational or advanced learning paths.

Modular Plug-and-Play Design

All modules were standalone and reusable, enabling flexible deployment in refresher sessions, SOP rollouts, or cross-functional training.

Device Flexibility

Content was optimized for both mobile and desktop platforms, supporting learning at the plant, office, or home.
