Dairy Industry Plant Training Manual

The American Dairy Science Association. 127 pp. 1959

University of Minnesota St. Paul

ABSTRACT

This manual should be welcomed by everyone responsible for the training and development of personnel for the Dairy Industry. It is designed to systematically guide a promising employee through a period of training in the various departments of a dairy company, and to provide him with suggestions and procedures so that he may continue to improve at the supervisory level.

Specific training programs are outlined for the main segments of the dairy processing and manufacturing industries, including milk, ice cream, condensed and dry milk, evaporated milk, butter, and cheese operations. Each training program is divided into sections representing the major departments of an organization, and specific assignments are given for the trainee to follow in each department.

A training program involves the following operations: (1) the assignment of the trainee to a supervisor who will serve as the principal counsellor throughout the training period; the direct participation by the trainee in the planned program by following the assignments as outlined; (3) the adoption of a definite time schedule for the work and training assignments; (4) the use of the question-and-answer approach to guide the trainee in the departmental phases of the program; and (5) the application of a periodic report and evaluation plan.
