Well organized, job-specific training can improve the performance of power plants by reducing forced outages and load deratings, reducing equipment damage, improving personnel and equipment safety, and minimizing emissions violations. One way to reduce the costs of training power plant personnel, while achieving training goals, is by capitalizing on the technological advances associated with the information age through the implementation of interactive multimedia training. The technology associated with this modern delivery form has improved significantly in the last few years, resulting in much cheaper hardware and software costs as well as reduced costs for designing and developing customized job and plant-specific training. FCS offers customized computer-based training that takes advantage of the latest advances in multimedia training technology. This training allows organizations to cost-effectively enhance existing training materials. In many cases, existing training materials accurately reflect knowledge and skills associated with plant jobs, and these programs only require conversion to a more innovative delivery platform. On the other hand, it the existing materials need updating or extensive revision, FCS has the experience and technical knowledge to develop or up date training materials, and then create multimedia training that meets the customer's needs. FCS offers multimedia training using commercially available authoring tools. These tools are selected based on their ease of use and our customer's requirements. This allows the customer to update the materials after the work is initially developed. The FCS approach to multimedia begins with a functional analysis and a project specific training plan.
