Video-Based Training in Medical Device Manufacturing

Video-Based Training in Medical Device Manufacturing

In the fast-paced and specialized field of medical device manufacturing, where precision, compliance, and quality are paramount, effective training is critical. Traditional training materials and methods (like manufacturing procedures, drawings etc.), often fall short in addressing the dynamic needs of labor-intensive manufacturing processes in this industry.
This is where Video-Based Training (VBT) comes into play, offering a robust solution that brings significant benefits and a remarkable return on investment (ROI).

For over 10 years LightVision Media Group gained a substantial expertise in addressing the visual training tools needs of major industry players.

Some of the major benefits of supplementing your production training with videos are the following.

Enhancing Training Efficacy

  • Visual Learning:
    One of the most compelling reasons for adopting VBT is its alignment with the way people naturally learn. Studies have shown that visual content can enhance understanding and retention. In medical device manufacturing, where precision and adherence to procedures are critical, video can illustrate complex processes more clearly than text or static images.
  • Standardization:
    Videos ensure that every employee receives the same high-quality training, which is crucial for maintaining consistency in production processes. This standardization helps in reducing training deviation, assembly errors and eventually improvs product line yields.

Addressing Complexities of Labor-intensive Manufacturing

  • Detailed Demonstrations:
    Medical device manufacturing involves intricate processes that are often difficult to explain through manufacturing procedures. VBT allows for detailed demonstrations of these processes, making it easier for employees to grasp and replicate them accurately.
  • Updates:
    The regulatory landscape in medical device manufacturing is constantly evolving. LightVision Media Group offers a flexible platform to update training videos, ensuring that employees are always compliant with the latest standards and practices.

Boosting Engagement and Retention

  • Interactive Content:
    Videos can be interactive, incorporating quizzes, simulations, and feedback loops that engage employees more effectively than traditional training methods. This interactivity not only makes learning more enjoyable but also reinforces the training content.
  • CDS On-Demand Access:
    LightVision Media Group Content Delivery System allows our clients to access training materials anytime and anywhere, facilitating continuous self-learning and refresher training. This is particularly beneficial in a shift-based work environment.

ROI and Cost Savings

  • Reduced Training Costs:
    Traditional training methods often involve significant costs, including travel expenses for trainers, printed materials, and lost productivity during training sessions. VBT reduces these costs by delivering training digitally. Once a training video is produced, it can be used repeatedly at no additional cost.
  • Minimized Downtime:
    VBT minimizes production downtime by enabling employees to learn at their own pace without taking entire shifts off for training. This ensures that production lines remain operational while employees are upskilled.

  • Faster Onboarding:
    The medical device sectors often face high turnover rates and the need for rapid onboarding of new employees. VBT accelerates this process, ensuring that new hires become productive more quickly, thereby reducing the costs associated with prolonged training periods.
