Operator training simulators for
GlaxoSmithKline
TSC have produced six computer based training units for GlaxoSmithKline, a leading research based pharmaceutical firm, to be used for their own in-house operator training and assessment
The training package builds from an introduction to the site specific Distributed Control System (DCS) through to Advanced Operator Training and includes fault finding and incident recovery and prevention In addition to DCS training, the units refresh the trainee's knowledge of basic chemical engineering principles

Each training unit starts and finishes with a series of questions.
The trainee's own results are logged to a file and a training certificate is automatically produced on completion.
The training process does not require supervision or marking so the trainee can complete the training courses whenever convenient and progress through at their own pace.
The implications of this are that training resources go further and administration and supervision requirements are dramatically reduced.
TSC have also supplied GSK with a simulation of a generic pharmaceutical batch process.
The process is sequence controlled and the interface is an emulation of the DCS System used on site.
Trainees can practice controlling a sequence controlled batch process.
An instructor / trainer can introduce faults, such as failure of an instrument, pump or valve, to test the trainee response.
This type of training is extremely beneficial in improving safety and loss prevention.
