RightStart™ Training System

Our team members are equipped through your training to better understand issues that may be caused by recycled plastics or to even participate in root cause analysis of mold qualification issues.

We also appreciate the quality and convenience of having our own portal. It provides information on who’s taking classes and how people are progressing. This makes it easy for us to manage the training…

We are excited about the opportunities the RightStart™ training package brings to SRG Global – training in injection molding to 500 people – to benefit, our customers, our SRG Global business and most importantly our employees‘ development.

We use this training at 12 plants overall… process engineers, tooling engineers, product engineers, quality and plating people… The more our people know, the better decisions they will be able to make. This is a tool for sharing knowledge across the whole organization – even people in our Mexican, European and Chinese facilities can train because you've made the training available in multiple languages…

As a technical recruiter, I've seen what works and what doesn't work—including what works and does not work in training… We had the Paulson tapes and discs, but were never really enamored with them because they lacked interaction and activities. We'd just sit in a room reviewing, and then take a quiz before moving on to the next tape.

Your training got us excited in a hurry because of the interactivity, not to mention the depth and scope of your offerings… Using the Routsis portal, we've been able to close the gap from an overall training and skillset standpoint perspective…

I’d like to thank Routsis for providing Entegris with outstanding plastics training for the last 20+ years. We started with your videotape training back in the day, and then moved to CD-ROM when it was in vogue. Today, more than 1,000 Entegris employees benefit from your top-notch online training programs.

Thanks to your training, which is available in multiple languages and includes relevant, related skill exercises, we’re able to thrive in what is a demanding space, where precision parts are vital and long product lifecycles and tight change-control measures are the norm…

In the past year, I hired 70 new people, all of whom needed training. We’ve built much of our technical training structure around the Routsis RightStart™ program. Our people love it.

We’ve found the skill checks you’ve put into the program at various milestones extremely helpful. We also appreciate your willingness to create programs around our gaps…

Manar uses the Routsis RightStart™ program for a complete system of ongoing training within CEW and four other plastic injection molding plants, including one in Shenzhen, China. RightStart serves our workforce of 350 employees across those five locations.

Overall, we have found that Routsis’s training is greatly beneficial for new hires, has resulted in better efficiencies and less scrap, has led to reductions in cycle time, setup times, and troubleshooting times, provides advanced training to our advanced processors and expert partners, and is helping us build a training culture, which is crucial to staying competitive…

Our most impacted metric thus far is the reduction of scrap, as our production technicians have gained a much better understanding of what “right” looks like. They’re not “chasing bubbles” anymore trying to correct defects by trial and error because they understand the defects and how they came about.

Additionally, we have seen stabilization in turnover of our skilled labor pool. These employees have embraced the opportunity for personal improvement and advancement and have opted to stay on board when opportunity came knocking…

If you are looking for the right plastics training for your company, look no further than Routsis Training. With the ongoing skilled labor shortage, the primary thing we’re doing here at UPM is staff development. We want to be able to take any employee with the aptitude and willingness to learn, put them through the Routsis Training program, and let them carve out their own path.

As a result of working with Routsis, we’ve seen good results in all KPIs, from total overall efficiency, which takes into account scrap, downtime, and operator efficiency, to work order hours to the number of PMs per month and downtime hours for the tool room. The best result, though, is in creating a “UPM Way” of doing things consistently, and Routsis is helping us achieve that.…

NAL has been using the Routsis RightStart™ training program since 2013 as an integral component of our in-house molding technician training process. It has allowed us to train the new technicians we have needed to support our recent expansion activities so they can be more effective and efficient when either trouble shooting our equipment or developing new processes in support of our new product launch activities. Through RightStart™, NAL employees at all eight of our facilities in Illinois, Alabama, Michigan, and Indiana have access to online and hands-on plastics injection molding training…

Routsis’s RightStart™ program has played and continues to play a key role in that success by enabling us to teach best practices to our employees at multiple locations. Your training empowers our people, who in turn are empowered to deliver on MDI’s Quality Commitment to customers who purchase our highly complex injection molded parts and assemblies…

Nordson has been a RightStart™ customer for more than five years. We use Routsis to train at all levels and find the biggest benefit in having a common way to communicate about injection molding—how the machines work, what happens to the plastics, and so on.

It makes a big difference when everyone knows what things are called, and when we all use the same jargon to talk about scientific molding techniques or processing issues.…

My immediate goal was to stop the hemorrhage of people from the molding department. My secondary goal, although no less important, was to build up labor efficiency and speed to competency while giving people a picture of what a career in injection molding at JAE Oregon looks like. We have accomplished those goals.

Turnover has stabilized, efficiency is up, and employees now see a clear career path that maps to your training.…

We have found great benefit from the Routsis training and would recommend this for plastics companies that wish to start training right away and see tangible improvements to their operations…

We signed up for Routsis RightStart™ Training three years ago. The ongoing training, which includes both online and hands-on course work, covers all of our staff, who work approximately 30 machines from 35 to 730 tons, including handling devices and robots that operate around the clock.

Do we recommend Routsis and the RightStart™ Training program? The answer is yes. The people we have put through this system in most cases were entry level employees and had a great success rate of jump starting the transition to jobs such as quality control and set-up positions…
