| Project: Airbag Safety Training |
|
The Task:
Existing training material developed for all GM Assembly Plants did not provide the Flint Assembly Plant with plant specific content.
The Solution:
ARCHOM captured each workforce interaction with the “Airbag Assembly Process”. We documented the assembly
points supported with safety information through text, video, voice, graphics and photographic content development.
Developed evaluation questions to evaluate student pre and post knowledge of subject contents.
ARCHOM developed a training module using its proprietary ICT™ software product.
This training module is now being delivered in GM Flint assembly technology center
to all workers handling or coming in contact with airbags in the assembly process.
The Result:
Increased Workforce Safety
On-going Training Tool
Hands-On Experience
Reduced Lost Work Hours
More Knowledgeable Workforce

The Task:
The Electrical Verification Unit (EVU), a tool used in the general assembly process,
repeatedly broke down on third shift. Workforce did not have access to information
required to properly troubleshoot or maintain this equipment.

ARCHOM combined existing mechanical and electrical technical manuals with instructional text,
video, voice and photographs into an ICT module that currently is available on industrial
PC’s surrounding the EVU assembly zone.
The Result:
Reduced Downtime Cost
Increased Productivity
24/7 Workforce Access
Access to Job Instructions & Technical Material
On-demand Content Printing
