TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR VESSEL PLANNERS

Bottom cube (3).png

A training program for your vessel planners
is a good starting point, as this would benefit
the organization in terms of building efficient
and optimized stowage plans. Training not only motivates the team but also improves productivity in the long run.

Merely developing the training program is not enough. Identifying goals, the resources and the teams' strengths/ weaknesses in planning is important. Resources that undergo training need to be evaluated properly in order for the training plan to be executed effectively. 

 

After training when the resource is put in the hot seat, to create an efficient stowage plan, a feedback loop of areas of improvement can further strengthen the training and bring out the best in planning. Investing in your team has shown to improve productivity, minimize error, and boost staff morale.

IDENTIFYING THE TRAINING OBJECTIVES 

We will create a training schedule based on the defined objectives and the skillset matrix score prior to planning the training content, schedule and training methodology. The schedule should factor that the resource will be away from work during the training time.

STAFF INDUCTION

Planners are inducted into the training
program. The company objective for the training is defined to planners, as well as what they will learn, how it will be conducted and how it will benefit them and the organization.

TRAINING EVALUATION


A post-datum evaluation of resources is important to understand how the training has improved the ability to create stowage plans. The training program as well as the level of the resources' understanding will be continuously evaluated throughout the program, and adjusted as necessary.
