1.0 Introduction Index, Home

This training procedure is written for the training and qualification of Setup/Molding Technicians in an injection molding environment.  It was written specifically for a company and it's products and processes.  The procedure can be modified to fit a variety of environments in the injection molding environment.

For practical testing requirements we require that they are performed on the day shift.  If an issue arises that an employee submits a testing request on the off shift(s) and must wait until his/her rotation is completed, that employee will be retroactively compensated monetarily at the new pay scale starting 10 days after the date that the test request has been submitted provided the employee has passed the test.  The employee will not advance to the next classification unless all 30 hours of training has been completed and all classroom/written training has been completed and passed.  Also the practical testing will be done only during the week unless there are special considerations made.  A maximum of 1 person at a time will be trained and a maximum of 1 hour per day can be utilized on the Paulson Interactive (classroom) trainer.  The trainer will be available only during weekdays, again unless special considerations are made.

Example Y Which weighs more? (if equal, mark C.)

Example X shows a picture of two people carrying a typewriter on a board and asks, which person has the heavier load? (If equal, mark C.)  Person B has the heavier load because the weight is closer to him than to person A.  Therefore, the answer is B. Example Y asks, which weighs more? (If equal, mark C.)  As the scale is perfectly balanced, A and B must weigh the same so the answer is C. On the following questions there are more pictures and questions.  Read each question carefully, look at the picture, and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.  Do not forget that there is a third choice for every question. You will have 30 minutes for this test.  Work as quickly and accurately as you can.  Accuracy is more important than speed.  For every answer that is incorrect, a 1/2 mark will be subtracted from your score.  For example: Number of correct answers:       46 Number of incorrect answers: 14 Score on test:     46 - (14 x 1/2)  =                             46 - 7               =                             39
