Back to Cases

Radcom provided process documentation and role profiling services using proprietary tools like role overviews and output profiles to support workforce cross-training and knowledge capture.

Company Profile

  • Business Type: Family-owned manufacturing company
  • Industry: Industrial air conditioning and filtration
  • Size: ~30 employees
  • Client Base: Includes Fortune 500 companies


Problem

Lintern faced two core challenges:

  • A need to diversify skill sets among production assembly employees for better workflow flexibility.
  • An urgency to capture legacy knowledge before experienced workers retire.

They lacked familiarity with Radcom’s offerings, so they began with a limited-scope snapshot project focusing on one role.

Solution

Radcom proposed a phased documentation approach, beginning with a role overview and output profile for a single production role. After reviewing the initial deliverables, Lintern chose to fully engage Radcom for a broader initiative.

Executive Process

To ensure accuracy and alignment with real-world workflows, Radcom’s analyst:

  • Conducted onsite observations and interviews with exemplary performers.
  • Held management consultations to align training goals with business outcomes.
  • Delivered comprehensive documentation, including:
    • Role Overviews for key units: condenser, evaporator, control panels, brazing, and testing.
    • Output Profiles detailing:
      • Standards and business results.
      • Processes, interactions, and performance measures.
      • Key tasks and best practices.
      • Necessary skills, knowledge, and characteristics.
    • A Finished Unit Checklist for the testing unit to ensure shipment readiness.

Outcome

Lintern now has:

  • A foundational framework to implement cross-training programs.
  • Increased capacity to adjust workflows with shifting production demands.
  • A system for preserving and transferring expert knowledge.
  • Sustained quality and productivity across units despite workforce transitions.

Radcom continues to partner with Lintern to support future training and documentation initiatives.
