Available 24 Hours: The training can take place, whenever trainee has time. The WSAT system can be located either in the training center or in the control room.
Reduces Instructor's Load: WSAT delivers the process operations knowledge via self-paced tutorials. It relieves the burden placed on experienced operators and instructors to train in-experienced trainees.
Reduces Instruction Cost: Instructors can spend more quality time with trainees. More trainees can be trained with your existing resources. It can minimize potential costly instruction cost related with outside consultants and training courses.
Improves Process Knowledge and Troubleshooting Skills: According to teaching experts, any new acquired knowledge not used within the next 72 hours is lost. In WSAT, the knowledge is delivered via CBT lessons and the trainee has the opportunity to practice it immediately on the simulator. The simulator is a vehicle for immediate virtual hands on experience, and it helps trainee in remembering information.
A simulator based training helps in:
Better understanding of process and its dynamic behavior
Improving “On-the-Job” performance
Fewer unforeseen shutdowns
Smoother turnarounds
Preventing accidents or repeated flares or breakdowns
Better recovery from upsets
Consistent product quality
Maintaining complex operational skills
Reducing training time required to be a skilled operator
Efficient Training: On the WSAT simulator, the trainees can experience many operational excursions in a short period of time. The simulator based training saves time and cost for training.
Teaches Underlying Principles: Both the CBT lessons as well as the simulation focus on fundamental principles. It helps in understanding the "cause and effect" relationships within the process.
Train Personnel of all Levels: WSAT is an ideal training system for beginners as well as experienced personnel. A beginner can start from the fundamental lessons, and later practice on the simulator to get hands on training. The experienced operators can move straight to the simulator to sharpen their skills.
Increased Personnel Motivation: Digital movies, exciting animation, graphics and sounds develop curiosity and increase student's attention span. The trainee is an active participant throughout the training sessions. The user friendly human interface gives them a sense of control over what they are doing, thus making the whole experience more enjoyable and challenging.
