Scientific Management Techniques Reaches the 900,000 Manufacturing Skill Assessments Milestone
Unique solutions are in high demand as the manufacturing skills shortage grows more acute globally.
LONDONDERRY, N.H., July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Management Techniques (SMT), a provider of manufacturing skills assessment and skills training programs, has reached the 900,000 manufacturing skill assessments milestone. Launched in 1970 with the introduction of their Mechanical skills assessment machine, SMT has grown to enjoy a global presence with their portable manufacturing skills assessment machines currently deployed in 31 countries.
In addition to the Mechanical skills test device SMT manufactures portable Electrical, PLC, and CNC skills assessment devices. These machines and SMT's Non-Verbal, Non-Written, Task-Oriented assessment methodology are used by manufacturing organizations across a wide variety of platforms to identify and measure the skills and competencies of candidates and incumbents.
SMT has experienced a significant increase in business as manufacturing organizations search for solutions to the skills shortage. "We understand the hiring process in manufacturing. Our clients use our machines to lower the risk and cost of hiring," said Richard Whouley, Founder of SMT. "Identifying and quantifying skills prior to hire is the single most effective means to insure a quality, highly productive hiring decision in manufacturing. Our clients embrace our assessment machines and methodology due to the financial benefits and productivity enhancements delivered by identifying the most capable candidates and incumbents."
According to a poll conducted by Global Intelligence Alliance most North American manufacturers see the lack of skilled workers as the key detriment to business growth.
Mr. Larry Gibson at Unilever, an SMT client, states, "I was introduced to SMT's standard timing model as a plant maintenance manager and used it as a very effective screening tool for hiring. In subsequent roles as plant manager I brought the tool in not only for hiring but also as a training tool for our TPM programs with great effect. We also had great success with SMT's electrical testing module, again for both screening and training. I have used SMT for years; this company has great and proven products, training and techniques."
