Training in technology and productivity – from a global engineering and manufacturing company
Manufacturing know-how
Festo is both a global engineer-ing and manufacturing com- pany and training and consulting organisation with experienced instructors and consultants.This gives us deeper insights into key industry issues than other training providers.We practice what we teach.
And we can use this experience to help you optimise the two sides of the productivity equa-tion – people and technology.
Globally qualified trainers
Our networks of qualified train-ers in the areas of technology, organisation and people share resources and best practices and contribute to continuous improvement and development of new products to address cus-tomer needs.
Methods and formats
Our trainers draw on the entire range of methods and formats –from an interactive presentation for a large group to the coachingof individuals in production teams.
We practice what we teach
13
Improving the people part of productivity
Our approach is competency-based – getting people fit for productivity
What we train
Festo offers a wide range of training services covering the three skills areas technology, organisation and people and the three factors in productivity: quality, time and cost.
Training is based on customer needs, for example:
Technology– Introduction of a new
technology– Development of all skills
needed to serve a production cell
Organisation– Establishment or enhance-
ment of continuous improve-ment processes
– Introduction of KanbanPeople– Improvement in
communication – Implementation of
problem-solving techniquesQuality– Increase of individuals’
sensitivity to quality– Reduction of rework and
reject rate Time – Optimisation of set-up time – Minimisation of unplanned
downtimeCosts– Avoiding waste– Reduction of capital tied up
in work-in-progress
How we train
Our training is competency-based, which means:– Benefits for all stakeholders
are clear – “Before” and “after”
snapshots of skills make the ROI transparent
– It complements the competency matrix approach to improving individual performance
– It fosters a will to achieve in both trainer and trainees
– It provides orientation and a sense of achievement in technology training
– Hands-on exercises with industrial components reinforce the transfer of new skills
14
Getting exactly the right training
Our training formats andservices allow us to respond flexibly to your needs
No matter which training format you choose – whether public orin-house, a course, a workshop,a best-practice event or cor-porate strategy games – the focus is always on first-hand experience.
In both public and customised training, the outcomes are trans-parent to all stakeholders, allowing them to track progress towards achieving the required competencies. Rapid transfer to daily practice is a key quality criterion – we help you to meas-ure and optimise this.
And we match the delivery of our training services exactly to your needs, instructor-led full day or evening courses, virtual instruc-tor led or web-based – it is your decision.
Standard training
In public courses, a predefined set of competencies are trans-ferred. Approximately 42,000 course participants attend over 3,000 of our public courses worldwide every year. Our trainers deliver modular quality-assured training in 39 languages.
Customised training
There are three levels tocustomised training:
Customised courses designed to achieve agreed outcomes are generally in-house to achieve greater focus on your business needs, increased flexibility andreduced cost, often with the added advantage that partici-pants do not have to travel.
If you are not sure which skills profile a team needs, our Train-ing Needs Analysis (TNA) will identify requirements and audit current skills in a report.
To optimise transfer, a post course review can be run a few weeks after training – this audits the upgraded skills set against the agreed outcomes.
Competence development projects
If your customised training exceeds the scope of a single course, qualification programs can be established. These com-prise several courses with inter-vals between to transfer to the workplace and integration of in-house projects with goals such as optimising setup time.
15
Customer-specific projects and consulting
Improving specific Key Per-formance Indicators (KPIs) such as downtime or setup time
Optimising production
Through value stream mapping we jointly track the progress ofa product through production with the aim of enhancing efficiency and avoiding waste. Experienced consultants employ state-of-the-art methods and tools that have been tried and tested at customer sites and in the Festo Group’s award-win-ning production facilities.
Principles
Application of tried and testedprocesses– Elimination of errors and
malfunctions– Identification and resolution
of the root causes of problems– Optimisation of all process
factors– Close communication with
machine operators
Cleanliness, order, discipline and standardisation as the basis for quality.
Benefits and results

Tailor-made employee competence development
Jobs are becoming more and more complex.Most employees are not only doing what they origi-nally learned when they started their job. They also need to constantly develop their skills and acquire specialised knowledge related to their current job profile – both hard skills and soft skills.
That is why we now offer brand-new holistic compe-tence programs based on industry requirements with a special focus on role-specific activities. These programs enable participants to perform more effectively in their position. They consist of a range of courses and – in the majority of cases – of a project work related to tasks in the participant‘s workplace – all accompanied by our experienced instructors.This positions the employee to put their newly acquired skills into practice immediately, making the ROI clearly visible for their employer, who sees the improved skills at a glance.

Competence programsMaintenance
Highly efficient production systems based on the Lean Thinkingprinciple require professional maintenance. This goes far beyond the reactive approach of troubleshooting, instead pursuing continuous optimisation of machines and processes. This approach is also called value-added maintenance. It includes ensuring the highest possible system availability, low maintenance costs, enhanced energy effici-ency, and a high level of work safety.
These and other topics form part of our qualification programs for maintenance technicians, maintenance supervisors und maintenance managers. They allow measurable development of your employees’ skills and can be certified, if necessary.

Competence programsSupply chain management
Divided in two parts, the competence program supply chain manage-ment starts from fundamentals, and can lead to certification for job-specific positions.
The first part focuses on fundamentals and covers best practices and tools while taking a global view of the supply chain. It demonstrates the importance of an overall outcome rather than the sum of indivi-dual results.
The second part is dedicated to job-specific learning: It focuses mainly on role-specific activities, enabling the participant to perform effectively in a specific position as part of the supply chain.
