Challenge
Lack of product expertise among field engineers to fix difficult maintenance problems
Action
Shotclasses enabled the sharing of bite-sized videos on specific maintenance issues and steps to resolve them
Executive Summary
A leading coffee machine manufacturing company was looking to train field service engineers spread across 40 location. However, given fewer training centers enabling frequent classroom training and refresher course was a challenge. Mindtree helped the client train field service engineers with bite-sized videos that could be accessed easily while resolving on-field machine issues. This helped in faster issue resolution and enhanced customer service levels.
The Challenge
As the field engineers lacked necessary expertise they relied on managers to resolve machine related issues at client’s location. This reduced managers’ productivity and resulted in increased closure time. The client was therefore looking to train field service engineers in necessary expertise. However, with just a few training centers and engineers spread across 40 locations, frequent classroom training and refresher courses was a challenge.
