ABSTRACT
Proper training can provide the motivation needed by cleanroom personnel to ensure and improve product quality. The characteristics of cleanrooms and controlled environments may have the effect of creating morale problems among the personnel. Problems include a limited job scope with little hope of advancement and a low pay scale. Cleanrooms, regardless of design, have one common performance criteria: to provide an atmosphere that will protect the product from a hostile environment. Past cleanroom training has usually focused on “prescriptive” measures. Prior to the establishment of any training program, a corporate cleanroom standard must be developed, specified and published in a general guidelines document. The goal of any training course is to bring the individual from a starting point of little or no knowledge to the point where he or she can, with experience, achieve a 100 percent level of expertise in job performance. The success of any training program is motivation and behavior.
