Which of the following techniques could the company use to give new workers experience using real assembly line machinery without having them actually work on a real assembly line?
A) Apprenticeship programs
B) Case studybased training
C) Computerbased training
D) Vestibule training

Carlyle Manufacturing Inc. realized that putting inexperienced workers on an assembly line slows down other workers and results in a significant increase in errors and a decline in quality. Which of the following techniques could the company use to give new workers experience using real assembly line machinery without having them actually work on a real assembly line?
A) Apprenticeship programs
B) Case study­based training
C) Computer­based training
D) Vestibule training

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vestibule training allows new workers to train on real machinery in a simulated environment, reducing the risk of errors and quality decline on a real assembly line. Apprenticeship programs involve on-the-job training, which could still slow down production and cause errors. Case study-based training and computer-based training do not involve real machinery and may not prepare workers for the specific challenges of an assembly line.
