PCO Innovation is Involved with the Normalization of Engineering Practices at Alstom Transport
PCO Innovation has announced the success of its ambitious engineering team training program on new design methodologies for Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA tool at Alstom Transport.
Following PCO Innovation’s involvement with the development of the new methodologies, Alstom Transport selected the company to design the training program and deploy it to over 1100 users in 10 countries. A genuine challenge due to the scope (24 modules and 110 methodologies), the cultural diversity, the sheer amount of people to train, the steep learning curve requiring severance from old habits and the tight deadline.
PCO Innovation engineered the training program and mobilized 15 instructors for more than a year, all of whom were tasked with dispensing the training program and providing coaching and assistance throughout the world while relying on complex logistics involving the use of the “flying classroom” concept.
As stated by Christine Sainjon, the training program manager at Alstom Transport: “PCO Innovation, in partnership with our engineering managers, our BIS organization and human resources, has allowed us to complete this ambitious project involving the normalization of practices while displaying availability, responsiveness and more notably a great sense of duty.”
