How a mid-size contract manufacturer cut changeover training rollout from five days to one.
A contract manufacturer running three shifts across two plants updated changeover procedures roughly twice a month as new customer programs came online. The single trainer covering both plants could only walk one shift through a new procedure per visit, so full rollout across all three shifts and two sites took up to five days. In the meantime, shifts running the old procedure accounted for a disproportionate share of changeover-related scrap and downtime.
The team connected Velo to their SOP library and engineering change process. When a procedure updates, the trainer reviews a first-draft script the same day and pushes the rendered video to Cornerstone and every break-room screen across both plants. Quality now pulls a training completion record straight from the platform ahead of customer audits instead of chasing paper sign-off sheets.
