Gulf Packaging Machine Operator "A"

This course contains the following modules:

Mathematics 1

Mathematics 1 reviews the math operations and concepts commonly used on the job in the production environment. The learner hones addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fraction, decimal, percentage, averaging, ratio, and geometry skills. Exposes the learner to basic linear problem solving and geometric operations, such as calculating surface area and volume.

Working in Groups

Working in groups provides an overview of groups and group decision-making. The learner studies group types, group formation, and the components and attributes of working effectively in a group. The learner also learns about the advantages and disadvantages of group decision-making, as well as the best decision-making strategies for any situation.

Mechanical Component Maintenance

This course covers: bolt and machine screw installation, basic component, precision component, and non-threaded component assembly; clamping and locking devices; power assembly; and component contamination and handling. Examples of topics include categories of torque-controlled tools, using a C-clamp to hold parts during assembly, the types of key fasteners, inspecting components for contamination, and using a wash station to clean a part.

Principles of Tooling

Principles of tooling introduces the tools used for metal cutting on lathes and machining centers. Reviews basic concepts in metal removal, tool materials and their properties, and tool selection and maintenance. The learner learns the major types of tools, cutting applications, materials and properties of tools, and the types and causes of tool defects.

Value Stream Mapping

Lean Manufacturing teaches learners ways to identify and eliminate waste in order to improve quality, reduce production time, and decrease cost: distilling down manufacturing processes to what is value added. Value Stream Mapping teaches key learning concepts to learners including value and value-added processes, value stream and the value stream map, preparation for value stream mapping, current state value stream mapping, process analysis using a value stream map, and future state value stream map and implementation.
