The Training Enterprise: A View From the Top

A Framework for Optimizing Total Training Systems: Application to Maintenance Training and Team Training Systems

The authors discuss the concept of an enterprise infrastructure, specifically a training enterprise, through the use of an enterprise model approach. The goal of the enterprise model is to provide a basis for understanding the enterprise concept, for analyzing the goals of the various functions of the enterprise, and for analyzing the informational and operational relationships that must exist among the various functions. It is shown that in order for an enterprise evolve effectively and efficiently a clear understanding of the current enterprise infrastructure must be available and must include the functions performed within the enterprise, the personnel and organizations responsible for the functions, and the informational relationships that exist among the functions. As the environment to the enterprise changes, the infrastructure must be adjusted or evolve to accommodate those changes. It is demonstrated that, through the development of an enterprise model using IDEF/sub 0/, the necessary infrastructure understanding is available to effectively make the appropriate adjustments. >
