Mechanical Aptitude Testing Program

Randolph Associates, Inc. now offers Mechanical Aptitude Testing (“Black Box”) configured specifically to the needs of the Food and Dairy Industry:


Mechanical Aptitude Testing Program using the Scientific Management Timing Module enables you to:
  · 
Gauge diagnostic skills/deficiencies of potential hires.
  · Identify gaps in incumbent diagnostic skills.
  · Develop operations and maintenance training activities to accelerate response time to upset conditions.
  · Reduce downtime through early detection of incipient problems.
  · Utilize mechanical failure scenarios with real relevance to the food industry,
      constructed by a forty-year veteran of the Food and Dairy Industry.
  · Document improvement in operator/technician performance as a result of targeted training efforts.

How it Works: 

The standard timing module’s assembly consisting of shafts, cams, connecting rods, gears, racks, etc., forms an integrated machine that can be manipulated by a certified administrator to emulate common failures and maladjustments.

The time taken by the candidate or incumbent technician to diagnose the problem and take corrective action is indicative of their relative ability to diagnose potentially relevant mechanical problems and make necessary adjustments.

Operating scenarios constructed by an industry expert familiar with food manufacturing equipment provide relevant feedback by simulating mechanical conditions most apt to disrupt food processing operations and undermine productivity. 

Our certified Mechanical Aptitude Testing (“Black Box”) administrator,
Joe White, is available for system demonstrations, technician testing, and related operator and maintenance training services. Call now or click to find out what a Mechanical Aptitude Testing Program can do to maximize the skills level of your workforce.
