Description:
<jats:p>During the last 18 months a novel approach to developing production and engineering managers within their own jobs has been created jointly by the Beer Division of Allied Breweries Ltd and the Food Drink and Tobacco Industry Training Board. The approach has been developed by providing formal training in diagnostic skills with in‐company training based on action learning principles. The aim of the training programme is to allow greater plant utilisation and to help to reduce the cost of downtime on each of its operating company sites by encouraging the production and engineering managers who attended the programme to train their own staff.</jats:p>
