Analysis development execution data reporting

Analysis Certification programs tend to place greater emphasis on the work tasks
and competencies Rather than a broader range of information offered in
traditional training programs.
Determine all knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) that are required to do a job. Ensure they
align with the role as defined in ERP and track with routings
• Keep purpose and process in mind
• Involvement of Sme’s provides more consistent work information and program validation

Also Include topics such as clean room protocol, facility safety, non-disclosure etc.
• May not be directly related to manufacturing role but are necessary to begin work at illumina
• Include training that needs annual or semi-annual refresher

compare current workforce capability against analysis to determine training gaps and begin
to formulate a certification/training plan

development training programs may or may not include the evaluation of KSA’s
While in a certification program it is incumbent on the participant to demonstrate KSA’s to a
certain standard.
