At
Silverado Cable, the most important message that we impart to our employees is that all of Silverado's products are considered "life critical". People's lives depend upon the proper functioning of our products and this principal is highly stressed at Silverado Cable.
The company focus on quality begins at the date of hire. All new
production personnel are put through a rigorous week long training
class, regardless of their previous experience or knowledge.
A full time experienced trainer covers such subjects as documentation
comprehension, correct use of tools, responsibilities for quality
and production rate requirements. At the end of the training
week, each person in the class is given a written exam as well
as a hands-on project in order to determine if they have mastered
the material. If they pass their tests they are placed in the
production environment where they will gain continued education
by working with a floor trainer and a quality inspector.
Assemblers are encouraged to strive for
higher levels of competency through the taking of additional
training classes.
There are
six skill levels that an assembler can achieve.
We believe
in continuous training of all of our managers as well as
our assembly personnel. Training includes safety
procedures, assembly techniques, interpersonal skills,
management training and other subject matter.
