The Advanced Integrated Manufacturing (AIM) Center is a partnership between Sinclair Community College and the University of Dayton (Ohio) that was established to help local manufacturing companies achieve world-class performance by improving their business practices, selecting/developing a highly skilled work force, and making appropriate use of technology. The AIM Center, which serves the greater Dayton area, responded to a request from General Motors to develop tools to help General Motors assess its job applicants for the skills needed to keep the automotive industry competitive. The assessment tools were developed by a team consisting of General Motors employees and members of the University of Dayton's Human Factors Department. The team developed a four-station (strut assembly, strut packing/labeling, rod assembly, brake hose inspection) work simulation assessment and a team assessment that related applicants' team interaction and problem-solving abilities. The simulations replicated the factory environment as closely as possible, even including an audiotape of factory background noise that was played during the work simulation. Twenty assessors were selected from the community and given 20 hours of training in work simulation assessment and 6 hours of training in team assessment. (Appendixes constituting approximately 75% of this document contain the simulations and sample simulation scores.) (MN)
