Nobi, “Grow” in Japanese, is a systematic learning landscape using FLOWSPARKS that combines e-learning with hands-on guidance. Nobi impacts all blue-collar employees, addressing the need for seamless skill transitions from many near retirement employees to new hires who join Etex. Boost trainings are organized to train the new employees. For current employees, MOC Nobi trainings are organised to update and expand their knowledge. Digital and practical tests confirm these new acquired competences. All these competences are logged by the master trainers and supervisors. In that way, Nobi helps identify training gaps quickly but also helps to predict future gaps. This helps to fulfill our main goal: build a smart factory with an adaptable workforce, preparing us for future challenges. Since implementing Nobi, training time has decreased from 8 weeks to just 2, allowing employees to work independently 6 weeks earlier and reducing costs. The training gap has decreased from 600 points to just 65, with the goal of reaching zero soon. This project ensures long-term success and adaptability for our workforce and organization.
