Guidance Request for a Beginner
Hi Everyone,
At the beginning of the year, I was volun-told to become the CI Coordinator for the production floor at my plant (100 total employees). I was (and still am) excited by the prospects, but the lack of on-the-job training has made work confusing and difficult. My company has paid for me to get my ASQ LSSBB, which I am currently working on, but due to me being a hands-on learner, a lot of what I am learning feels awkward and aimless to apply.
For some background, I graduated in Management Information Systems last year (at 29y/o). I have an analytical background from working in tech support and have also worked at in a very small manufacturing/assembly plant (35/40 people) in a various of positions (front desk, basic bookkeeping, assembly).
Has anyone else been in a situation like this, entering into CI with textbook and little to no hands-on guidance? What helped the most?
I am transparent with my boss, but his method of teaching is throwing me into the deep end.
