Eaton Corporation • Hello, My name is Ron Krueger • I have been employed with Eaton Corporation for 14 years • The last 5 years has been in training. • Eaton located in Eden Prairie Minnesota makes hydraulic motors and steering controls • Making these products requires precision machining skills
Eaton Corporation • Eaton found it hard to find people to fill these highly skilled positions • Eaton decided to start a training program to train people from within the company • In 2005 Eaton started a state led apprenticeship program using ToolingU, State guidelines and The National institute of Metalworking skills (Nims) • In 2008 Eaton started offering bonus to employees that completed ToolingU classes • Eaton started ToolingU because It fit the companies training needs for a couple of reasons
Eaton Corporation • Our apprentice program starting using ToolingU for their education hours. • Because of the flexible ToolingU offers Eaton rolled it out to all the employees, Which enabled them to start taking classes and prepare themselves for higher paying positions with-in the company. • Eaton’s desired outcomes were to help their employees learn about new areas in the shop and prepare them to move into new positions
Eaton Corporation • At the present time about 40% of the shop floor uses ToolingU. • Eaton use it to help with cross training employees to other job functions. • It is used to help employees learn more in their current roles. • Engineer's use it to help understand process that they may not fully understand.
Eaton Corporation • Employees are able to be more flexible with the number of machines they are able to run. • We spend less time with one-on-one training because employees have a better understanding of the terms and machine functions. • Some employees are uncomfortable using a computer. • One of the lessons learned was to not have the test answer available to the employees.

WILLIAM S. HARLEY ARTHUR DAVIDSON WALTER DAVIDSON
1917 / 1918 – Almost 20,000 motorcycles built for WWI Quartermaster School established to train military mechanics – Later became the Service School for dealer network mechanics and still later became Harley-Davidson University
HDU Journey 1917 1980’s 1990’s 2000’s 2008 2009 2010 H-D sells motorcycles to US military, technical training begins, “Quartermaster and Service Schools” New management steps up technical training and adds business skills Satellite Broadcast, Computer-based training added Online content, 250K + delivered Numerous events: Sales conferences, dealer seminars, webcasts, align w/ technical schools, curriculum standards, & international training Organizational transformation - HDU becomes part of HR Fall 2009 - New Leadership, Assessment, Employee Development transferred to HDU Over 93 years of delivering content and still training 2010 Analysis Restructure
Lack of a coordinated framework for Employee and Dealer Development Lack of shared Learning & Development vision, direction, value Lack of planning has yielded insufficient funding, misaligned curricula, duplicated efforts, decreasing standardization and increasing inefficiencies Challenged to meet expanding global business requirements and expectations with limited technology, decreasing resources, and lack of a consistent global mindset Lack of standardized training processes - 4000+ courses in LMS Variation in quality No framework to map curriculum to, little understanding of what is foundational to employees, uncertain of training gaps No central repository for training material, instructor guides, etc. LMS user acceptance is low, great need to improve perception HDU – A hard look in the mirror and the state of Employee Learning and Development…
Our Study Results….(cont’d) We are not leveraging economies of scale with Training & Development Too many dollars spent on external fill-the-need-of-the-day training, seminars, and other non-standard services Resources could be better leveraged for Employee Development Not consistently using a preferred supplier network Not leveraging “off the shelf” training and spending more to “Harley-ize” for in-house use Need to decrease cycle time for developing training internally (currently 14-16 weeks) and leverage more technology to deliver learning Individuals / departments / functions doing their own thing when it comes to Learning and Development
HDU is recognized as the primary service provider for employee anddealer learningand developmentglobally. We develop and deploy robust learning through a standardized framework and processes that align with company goals and strategies to help deliver business value. The Business Process and Talent Management Strategies will be the primary drivers of learning and development needs across the business. Moving Forward…

Why we opted for Tooling U • Curriculum already developed – provides off-the-shelf options • Learning content updated regularly by industry experts • Training products and offerings that align with our business needs • Great support and flexibility of Tooling U’s professional staff • Allows us to rapidly create blended programs for MFG • Introduced Tooling U through Information Visits • HDU Open House at Corporate HQ • Pilgrim Road Powertrain Plant • Product Development Center
Pilot 1 – Manufacturing Supervisor Training (1st & 2nd Quarter, 2010) Description H-D Powertrain Operations identified the need to provide foundational manufacturing training to 29 leaders that included supervisors, engineers, and area managers – mitigate effects of company-wide restructuring and job transitions. 10 Tooling U online courses were included in the curriculum to serve this need – e.g. Basic Measurement / Cutting Processes / Mechanics of CNC, etc. This target group had various levels of experience and some were new to manufacturing. Outcome Positive feedback from participants and plant leadership Achieved goal of developing and reinforcing a baseline understanding of common manufacturing terminology and processes
Pilot 2 – Green Field Operations (3rd Quarter 2010) Description Developed a training program that can easily be delivered to smaller start-up operations. Blended approach of H-D custom on-line content, H-D ILT content and Tooling U content. Prepared two subject matter experts to deliver this material to a group of 15 employees. Outcome Leadership very impressed with the blended training program format Operations appreciated the quality of foundational training provided
Pilot 3 – New Employee Training (July – August 2011) Description Train a pilot group of 80 new employees split into 2 groups for a period of almost 5 days. All had successfully completed pre-employment screening. This training was a mix of online courses and instructor led materials delivered by subject matter experts. Additionally, these courses were a blend of H-D courses as well as the Tooling U online courses that we host. Each participant was required to achieve 80% on the post-test in order to advance to the next course. The blended approach will allow us to gather data / test / plan for our final model. Outcome (Some TBD) We will continue to gather data and develop the final model for casual worker on-boarding, which will be standardized across all manufacturing sites. Determine if making an investment in new worker training will result in improved business results Measure impact of this training on retention, quality, safety and productivity of the participants trained as compared to previous methods. An additional outcome is to determine if the appropriate training material has been selected.
Pilot 3 Outcome (cont’d) 75 people completed the training Level 1 Feedback – Avg score 5.2 (1-6 scale) for program Learned new knowledge - 5.6 Conducive to learning 5.6 I will be able to apply this new knowledge on the job 5.7 Lessons learned The variance of online learning time was greater than pilots with our internal employees. This was partially due to our internally-developed courses including an assumption of participants already having a level of H-D knowledge (Acronyms, Process, etc.) Need to add basic computer skills to our hiring criteria Use more Tooling U courses (appropriate learning level and not “Harley-ized”, industry-proven learning material) Several opportunities to reduce cost and burden on H-D staff in future state model
Next Steps Develop a standardized curriculum for all new MFG employees Develop manufacturing functional area training for existing employees
