Top 10 Simulation Cost Savings |
1. |
Ability to perform comprehensive training when live equipment is unavailable. |
2. |
Reduced cost of taking live, expensive equipment off-line for training purposes. |
3. |
Reduced accident costs of novice operators expensive equipment. |
4. |
Increased confidence and productivity of new operators during their first 60 to 90 days of operation. |
5. |
Reduced overall training time. |
6. |
Assess basic skills and hand-eye coordination and screen out poor operators before they begin the training program.. |
7. |
Repetitively practice hazardous or life-threatening scenarios that would be dangerous and impractical to practice live. Military studies have shown that an operator doesn’t learn to respond naturally in a stressful situation until after 2,000 repetitions.
|
8. |
Refresher training for a veteran operator to keep skills fresh during period when work opportunities on live equipment is not available. |
9. |
Measurement of all facets of student performance, including unsafe actions,operating proficiency and response to faults/malfunctions. |
10. |
Objectivity in administering uniform tests and conditions to all students. . |
