Leadership Development
A beverage company had a need to develop the
leadership and management skills of their
supervisors and managers as part of their cultural enrichment initiative. RIT proposed to
deliver a Leadership Skills Development training program that was designed to help team
leaders and supervisors understand and practice the core competencies for the challenging
leadership roles they assume.
Participants learned and practiced essential skills that
increased their leadership capabilities, resulting in an overall organizational improvement
of communication, cooperation, and commitment for the company. Program modules included
overcoming resistance to change, handling employee complaints, providing employee support,
time management, coaching for improvement, customer service excellence, principles of continuous
quality improvement, using motivational techniques, providing effective praise, delegating
responsibility, sexual harassment awareness, improving interpersonal relationships, understanding
the dynamics of change, communication skills, gaining win-win solutions, presentation skills,
interview and selection skills, conducting effective meetings. Encouraging initiative, writing
performance objectives, and problem solving techniques.
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
A small-motor manufacturing company had a need to identify and train select employees in
Advanced
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). Center for Integrated Manufacturing
Studies (CIMS) provided the subject matter expert and instructional materials to present
customized training that fulfills the company's requirements.
Upon completion of this course, the participants were able to calculate minimum and maximum wall thickness,
air spaces and interferences for assemblies, create loop analysis/circuit diagrams for tolerance stack-up
analysis for both plus and minus toleranced dimensions and geometric tolerances, create both
simple and complex number charts for stack-up analysis using a variety of geometric tolerances,
basic dimensions, resultant conditions, virtual conditions and plus and minus toleranced dimensions,
apply tolerance stack-up analysis for floating fastener situations for clearance holes, screws and
shafts, apply tolerance stack-up analysis for fixed fastener situations using, screws, clearance
holes, slots, tabs, overall dimensions and projected tolerance zones for threaded holes, calculate
minimum and maximum gaps for assemblies that use a variety of datum structures, apply a system of
logic and mathematics to analyze tolerances, and apply statistical analysis to GD&T applications.
