Prologue1
This Global O&M Services Training Playbook describes the basis for planning and executing an initial and continuing training program for most O&M plant personnel. It focuses on establishing a training process that continuously provides the knowledge and skills all personnel need to perform their jobs in a safe and effective manner.
The goal of this Playbook is to drive a standard training approach for all O&M plant personnel including site leaders, operators and technicians. Their skills, knowledge and abilities enable O&M sites to be operated and maintained in a reliable and efficient manner. The implementation of this O&M Training Playbook is driven by business leaders who understand the importance of Training as a key business differentiator and competitive advantage.
Identifying training requirements and planning and executing training is a continual process. It is only through the participation and commitment of all plant personnel that a training function can be effective. The Plant Leadership team is responsible for enforcing and supporting the participation and commitment from all. This Playbook emphasizes these responsibilities and describes how the Plant Leadership drives their own training programs to fulfill their own specific needs.
This Playbook consists of:
• Training programs for the plant leadership team
• General guidelines to establish and conduct training at a typical O&M site
• A series of position-specific training programs focusing on operator and technician training
These training programs reflect the fact that plant leadership positions have mostly decision-driven responsibilities while operators and technician positions are more task-driven. Management programs focus on technical and process knowledge with special emphasis on leadership development while operator and technician programs focus on knowledge and job duties with strong emphasis on task execution capability verification.
The ultimate goal of this Playbook is to establish a training program that will develop world-class plant managers, operators and technicians. This can only be accomplished by support and involvement of all O&M business leaders, including all Headquarters personnel, Region and Plant Managers.

The training program and courses are derived from task categories described in Table 1. These task categories are reviewed every three years as a minimum to keep the training program up-to-date with PM changing roles and responsibilities. These major responsibility categories are grouped into four training areas: Technical, Business Acumen, Leadership and On-the-Job Training as described in Curriculum Development.
5.2 Curriculum DevelopmentFour curriculum tracks have been established to improve training efficiency. These tracks are based on the different plant technologies that PMs manage for the GO&MS business. The track approach to the curricula lets PMs focus their training effort on the concepts and content most applicable to their sites.
The four curriculum tracks are:
• O&M PM Qualification – Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Combined Cycle.
• O&M PM Qualification – Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Simple Cycle
• O&M PM Qualification - Aero Gas Turbine
• O&M PM Qualification - Non-Gas Turbine Power Plant
PMs that transfer to a new site with different technologies will be assigned the appropriate curriculum. Once the new training is assigned, the PM must complete it within 12 months.
5.3 Major Training Categories
All four tracks contain four major task categories.
• Technical TrainingThis provides knowledge and understanding of the functionality, operation and maintenance of GE-specific Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines and Generators. It also covers Balance-Of-Plant (BOP) equipment. For the latest list of Technical courses, see Attachment #1.

• Business AcumenThis non-technical training describes all internal GE processes, systems and tools PMs use to perform major contract tasks. These include but are not limited to warranty management, contract management, customer management, and sales and service business processes. It also includes contract margin review, sourcing and billing processes, etc. For the latest list of Business Acumen courses, see Attachment #1.
• Leadership TrainingPMs need very strong communication, team performance and technology-driven leadership skills to succeed in an environment with constant interaction between man and sophisticated machinery and where customers are vigilant of all aspects of contract fulfillment and delivery. Leadership training enables PMs to support key business initiatives, keep pace with changing business requirements and model GE values. It also enables PMs to manage customer relations, labor relations and personnel performance at their sites. For the latest list of Leadership Training courses, see Attachment #1.
• On the Job Training (OJT)This covers aspects of the training that are most effectively delivered via one-on-one interaction with a mentor. This training is structured as a list of PM tasks and activities that, due to their scope and content, do not require classroom or computer-based sessions. OJT includes a variety of tasks from technical to business processes.
Mentors ensure all OJT tasks are completed successfully by the PM candidate. Mentors are responsible for guiding PMs through the OJT list and signing off on all items as PMs successfully complete them. For the latest revision of PM OJT checklist, see Attachment #2.
5.4 Execution Candidates must successfully complete all modules of the training program to achieve qualification. Candidates must complete all of the above phases either by direct participation and approval, or by demonstrating competency in one or more areas and being granted exemption. See Training Exemption Requests. Note: Due to varying schedules and business needs, candidates may need to adjust the sequence of their training.
5.5 Training Exemption RequestsWhen a candidate possesses the knowledge and skills associated with any given training course or item, the candidate may be exempted from that area of training. The candidate must present objective evidence showing the candidate possesses the knowledge and skill. Objective Evidence may be presented in the form of training certificates, diplomas, myLearning records and other items. Resumes alone do NOT qualify as objective evidence.
Training Exemption Requests for selected items of the Qualification Program are submitted by the candidate and approved by the appropriate Region Manager and O&M Training Manager based on the objective evidence.
The Training Exemption request work flow (WF) process can be started from the PGS Training Community Support Central site under “Process” at:
http://supportcentral.ge.com/products/sup_products.asp?prod_id=10832
5.6 Continuing TrainingContinuing training topics are identified and added to the training curriculum as needed. All individuals assigned to the curriculum must successfully complete this new assigned training in order to maintain qualification.
5.7 Training ReviewAn O&M Training Review Board (TRB) evaluates training curriculum effectiveness.
Annually, at a minimum, the O&M Training Manager will chair a meeting with the GE Global O&M General Manager or designee, a Region Manager, and an incumbent PM. This review board will identify enhancements and modifications to the PM training curriculum such as:
• Program effectiveness
• Training content

IntroductionPlant Manager Training Guidelines and Qualification2
GE Energy | O&M Training Playbook (06/2012)
IntroductionAs part of the Qualification program, every new candidate is required to undergo “On the Job Training” (OJT). During this program, candidates will be assigned a mentor at a given site. Also, new candidates are expected to satisfactorily complete all assigned on-line training courses and gather practical knowledge on the tasks that they would be performing as certified PMs.
This document lists the roles, responsibilities and tasks related to On-the-job training. It also lists the processes and standards to successfully complete the training program in the “Roles and Responsibilities” section, “OJT Tasks Handouts” and the “Processes and Standards” sections of the document.

Candidate • Complete the tasks listed in the OJT Handout
Processes and StandardsAs part of the qualification process, a candidate is assigned a site and mentor by the Region Leadership. The candidate is required to satisfactorily complete the “On the Job Training” checklist within 24 months as established by the overall qualification program. Under special circumstances a candidate may be assigned to a site without a mentor. In such an event, the Region Manager owning the portfolio of the site automatically becomes the mentor.
A mentor is someone who both trains and evaluates the ability of a candidate to perform a task unsupervised. Mentoring is open-ended one-on-one training. The mentor trains the candidate as the mentor sees fit. When the mentor has determined the candidate
has adequate skills and knowledge associated with the task, the mentor then initials next to the task.
2-13
Processes and StandardsPlant Manager Training Guidelines and Qualification2
GE Energy | O&M Training Playbook (06/2012)
Each OJT task has a corresponding evaluation level that determines what the candidate must do before the mentor initials the task as complete. These levels are Discuss, Simulate and Perform:
• Discuss: The mentor trains while simultaneously evaluating the candidate on the task exclusively through discussion.
• Simulate: The mentor trains the candidate on the task. The candidate is required to simulate executing the task while describing the expected result.
• Perform: The mentor trains the candidate on the task. The candidate then performs the actual task under the observation and supervision of the mentor.
In all cases, the mentor determines when the candidate is competent to perform the task alone. If the task is not applicable at the candidate’s site, the mentor strikes out the level and write in “N/A”.
Note: All Simulate or Perform levels include Discuss by default.
If it is not possible or practical to simulate or perform a task as required, the mentor should strike through the Level and indicate that this task was discussed. If the task is discussed via phone or web conference, the candidate can initial for the mentor.

5.2 Curriculum DevelopmentFour curriculum tracks have been established to improve training efficiency. These tracks are based on the different plant technologies that MMs manage for the GO&MS business. The track approach to the curricula lets MMs focus their training effort on the concepts and content most applicable to their sites. The four curriculum tracks are:
• O&M MM Qualification – Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Combined Cycle.
• O&M MM Qualification – Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Simple Cycle
• O&M MM Qualification - Aero Gas Turbine
• O&M MM Qualification - Non-Gas Turbine Power Plant
MMs that transfer to a new site with different technologies will be assigned the appropriate curriculum. Once the new training is assigned, the MM must complete it within 12 months.
5.3 Major Training Categories
All four tracks contain four major task categories.
• Technical TrainingThis provides knowledge and understanding of the functionality, operation and maintenance of GE-specific Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines and Generators. It also covers Balance-Of-Plant (BOP) equipment. For the latest list of Technical courses, see Attachment #1.
• Business AcumenThis non-technical training describes all internal GE processes, systems and tools MMs use to perform major contract tasks. These include but are not limited to warranty management, contract management, customer management, and sales and service business processes. It also includes contract margin review, sourcing and billing processes, etc. For the latest list of Business Acumen courses, see Attachment #1.
• Leadership TrainingMMs need very strong communication, team performance and technology-driven leadership skills to succeed in an environment with constant interaction between man and sophisticated machinery and where customers are vigilant of all aspects of contract fulfillment and delivery. Leadership training enables MMs to support key business initiatives, keep pace with changing business requirements and model GE values. It also enables MMs to manage customer relations, labor relations and personnel performance at their sites. For the latest list of Leadership Training courses, see Attachment #1.
• On the Job Training (OJT)This covers aspects of the training that are most effectively delivered via one-on-one interaction with a mentor. This training is structured as a list of MM tasks and activities that, due to their scope and content, do not require classroom or computer-based sessions. OJT includes a variety of tasks from technical to business processes.
Mentors ensure all OJT tasks are completed successfully by the MM candidate. Mentors are responsible for guiding MMs through the OJT list and signing off on all items as MMs successfully complete them. For the latest revision of PM OJT checklist, see Attachment #2.
5.4 Execution Candidates must successfully complete all modules of the training program to achieve qualification. Candidates must complete all of the above phases either by direct participation and approval, or by demonstrating competency in one or more areas and being granted exemption. See Training Exemption Requests. Note: Due to varying schedules and business needs, candidates may need to adjust the sequence of their training.
5.5 Training Exemption RequestsWhen a candidate possesses the knowledge and skills associated with any given training course or item, the candidate may be exempted from that area of training. The candidate must present objective evidence showing they possess the knowledge and skill. Objective Evidence may be presented in the form of training certificates, diplomas, myLearning records and other items. Resumes alone do NOT qualify as objective evidence.
Training Exemption Requests for selected items of the Qualification Program are submitted by the candidate and approved by the appropriate Region Manager and O&M Training Manager based on the objective evidence.

IntroductionAs part of the Qualification program, every new Maintenance Manager candidate is required to undergo “On the Job Training” (OJT). During this program, candidates will be assigned a mentor at a given site. Also, new candidates are expected to satisfactorily complete all assigned on-line training courses and gather practical knowledge on the tasks that they would be performing as certified MMs.
This document lists the roles, responsibilities and tasks related to On-the-job training. It also lists the processes and standards to successfully complete the training program in the “Roles and Responsibilities” section, “OJT Tasks Handouts” and the “Processes and Standards” sections of the document.

Processes and StandardsAs part of the qualification process, a candidate is assigned a site and mentor by the Region Leadership. The candidate is required to satisfactorily complete the “On the Job Training” checklist within 24 months as established by the overall qualification program. Under special circumstances a candidate may be assigned to a site without a mentor. In such an event, the Region Manager owning the portfolio of the site automatically becomes the mentor.
A mentor is someone who both trains and evaluates the ability of a candidate to perform a task unsupervised. Mentoring is open-ended one-on-one training. The mentor trains the candidate as the mentor sees fit. When the mentor has determined the candidate has adequate skills and knowledge associated with the task, the mentor then initials next to the task.
Each OJT task has a corresponding evaluation level that determines what the candidate must do before the mentor initials the task as complete. These levels are Discuss, Simulate and Perform:
• Discuss: The mentor trains while simultaneously evaluating the candidate on the task exclusively through discussion.
• Simulate: The mentor trains the candidate on the task. The candidate is required to simulate executing the task while describing the expected result.
• Perform: The mentor trains the candidate on the task. The candidate then performs the actual task under the observation and supervision of the mentor.

In all cases, the mentor determines when the candidate is competent to perform the task alone. If the task is not applicable at the candidate’s site, the mentor strikes out the level and write in “N/A”.
Note : All Simulate or Perform levels include Discuss by default.
If it is not possible or practical to simulate or perform a task as required, the mentor should strike through the Level and indicate that
this task was discussed. If the task is discussed via phone or web conference, the candidate can initial for the mentor.

These major responsibility categories are grouped into four training areas: Technical, Business Acumen, Leadership and On-the-Job Training as described in Curriculum Development.
5.2 Curriculum DevelopmentFour curriculum tracks have been established to improve training efficiency. These tracks are based on the different plant technologies that OMs manage for the GO&MS business. The track approach to the curricula lets OMs focus their training effort on the concepts and content most applicable to their sites.
The four curriculum tracks are:
• O&M OM Qualification – Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Combined Cycle.
• O&M OM Qualification – Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Simple Cycle
• O&M OM Qualification - Aero Gas Turbine
• O&M OM Qualification - Non-Gas Turbine Power Plant
OMs that transfer to a new site with different technologies will be assigned the appropriate curriculum. Once the new training is assigned, the OM must complete it within 12 months.
