Congratulations to Richard Ward and Mats Herrstromer for their work on the new ANSI/ITSDF B56.5-2012 Standard. Their subcommittee developed language that includes a call for "verifiable training", and the inclusion of "learning objectives" in the training process.
If users start to design and implement their training accordingly, we should start to see more substantive outcomes from our training: job-relevant accomplishments; safe and productive employees; etc. I am, for one, pleased to see this kind of improvement that I hope moves beyond the AGV environments and into the mainstream in our industries. For those who are serious about getting value out of training, I think Richard Ward, Mats Herrstomer and committee have done something significant with the new ANSI/ITSDF B56.5-2012 standard.
