Introduction
The sample labs that follow are offered
as a method of visualizing how a comprehensive maintenance training laboratory
can be assembled using DAC products and accessories. Often, when reviewing
our web site or our catalog of products, potential customers become intimidated
by the number of products and options offered. The purchasing process is
viewed as complex and time consuming. With this proposal we intend to better
describe how a complete laboratory might be specified and how its component
parts work together. We regularly develop custom proposals of this kind
using information on your local needs, budget, student group size, and method
of delivery.
Equipment Quantities
This proposal is based on a basic student group size of twelve
learners. In some cases it is assumed that small groups might work on several
individual tasks simultaneously. Equipment quantities and consumable courseware
quantities can, of course, be adjusted to precisely match your needs.
Modularity
This proposal is divided into seven basic subject matter groups.
Whole groups can be eliminated, or others added, to better match your local
training needs. Using this modular approach a complete program can be developed
over time, based on your priorities or budget limitations.
Course Delivery
This proposal assumes use in an instructor-led setting. However,
many course elements can be delivered using a self-directed format. Using
a completely self-directed format, an even more flexible course offering
can be created. The training can be conducted according to the scheduling
needs of local industry and open enrollment students can be more easily
accommodated. When supplying materials in this format we can offer identical
course guides for each element.
Basic Skills
This proposal addresses applied maintenance fundamentals. If
training elements related to basic foundation skills are needed we can be
of help. If courses related to blueprint reading, reading, basic math, statistical
process control, safety, hand tools, and measuring, among others, are needed
please call to discuss the possibilities.
Integration With Existing Course
Materials
Using our simplistic course guides, mentioned above and more
fully described in the "System"
area of our web site, our training devices and their associated exercises
can be "connected" to related material produced by others including
paper-based, video or CD-ROM-type materials.
A Note About Integrated Applications
One of the unique features of our offering is the ability to
integrate individual training elements into complete electro-mechanical
arrangements. The "open architecture" of our mechanical, electrical,
process control and manufacturing control training equipment allows for
creation of comprehensive, combined, industry-specific and plant-specific
training environments. These environments can be used for cross-training
or basic training in troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, system tuning,
preventive/predictive maintenance or operations training. Rather than being
a structured "single-application" training aid, these combined
applications can be modified and adapted to suit specific training needs.
We offer the service of custom training application development to further
address your needs.
How To Get Started
Just give us a call.
Please call us at 1-800-662-5877 or e-mail us at sales@dac-3d.com.
To allow the process to begin immediately, be prepared to discuss student
group size, training priorities, existing materials, method of delivery,
budget and schedule. A comprehensive firm-price proposal can be assembled
in a matter of days. If you would like a comprehensive product demonstration,
we would be happy to provide one either in our offices or yours.
