Improve Operational Efficiency & Team Member Retention

Turn your procedures into repeatable, active work instructions, training tools, and job aids.

SOPs, that are followed precisely, improve safety and product quality. Providing easy access to One Best Way work instructions ensures those protocols are learned quickly and become locked in place. This is true whether you’re onboarding new team members or training veterans to take the next step in their career.

We’re helping manufacturers:

• Create a single source of truth for all operational, safety, and training protocols
• Turn SOPs into auditable, digital checklists for employees to use on the production line
• Incorporate images, videos, diagrams, and other job aids into work instructions
• Track compliance of procedures and identify opportunities for additional training
• Monitor role development, skill achievement, and workforce capabilities

Team members who know how to do their work properly will stay more engaged. You’ll see increased throughput and line efficiencies with fewer accidents and limited waste.

Training & Onboarding

Consistent process outcomes and employee retention both start with your training approach. We learn better while doing. So, job-embedded training programs are immediately more relevant than classroom or course-based activities. They take less time. They require less effort to pay attention.

Acadia improves training effectiveness by injecting training directly into work. Employees have easy access to SOPs and other job aids at the moment they are performing the task. Managers can check comprehension with quizzing and evaluations to ensure everyone gets the support they need.

Clear Progression Paths

Companies that have been successful cutting costs and enhancing supply-chain productivity have done so by incorporating automation and other operational efficiencies. However, as more work is done by less people, the work being done is exceedingly more complex.

To retain organizational memory and meet the new demand for high-skilled workers, progressive organizations are investing in continuous reskilling of existing team members.

Create role progressions that both employees and managers can use to track progress. Employees can see what skills they need to master to meet requirements for the next role-level or pay increase. Managers can easily identify employee capabilities to fill temporary labor gaps or staff new projects.

Audit Trail & Accountability

In most operations, SOP compliance correlates directly to performance. When compliance expectations are met, rework, yield, waste, and safety KPIs are also improved.

Managers with visibility into employee SOP compliance can identify who is performing tasks the right way and who might need additional training or support. By digitally tracking compliance, you also create an audit trail that can help you comply with ISO, OSHA, or other important standards.
