Investing in Operator Training on Bottling Lines: How to Reduce Costs, Improve Efficiency, and Increase Business Competitiveness
Continuous training is a crucial element in maintaining operational efficiency and reducing unplanned downtime caused by human errors, often due to inadequate preparation of operators. Investing in training programs, both initial and update, allows companies to optimize technical performance, improve problem-solving skills, and reduce downtime. Studies show that companies that regularly invest in training can see a revenue increase of up to 2.5%, with a direct impact on efficiency and productivity.
In Italy, for example, 68.9% of companies with at least 10 employees carried out professional training activities in 2020, with particularly high engagement among large companies, where the percentage exceeds 90% (source: ISTAT). However, Italy lags behind major European countries in continuous adult education, with only 9.6% of the adult population participating in training courses (source: INAPP).
However, the lack of training can result in significant costs. In case of downtime due to human error, companies must face substantial expenses, including the cost of lost production, which can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of euros per hour. In addition, there are the costs of the inactive operator, the cost of external technician intervention, and waiting times, or the cost of remote assistance intervention. Moreover, insufficient training can compromise workplace safety, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. All these risks are avoidable through adequate training. Our experience shows that many machine stoppages are caused by repetitive errors or easily solvable issues. Therefore, we strongly recommend that companies invest in operator training to reduce downtime and improve overall productivity.
To tackle these challenges, funds such as Fondimpresa offer financing opportunities for continuous training, supporting over 550,000 workers in more than 29,000 companies through the Training Account and the System Account. These programs enable companies to enhance the technical and professional skills of their staff, reducing downtime and improving market competitiveness. Investing in training not only improves operational efficiency but also contributes to higher productivity and an increase in company revenue.
