SAN JOAQUIN, Calif. -- A new training facility at DLA Distribution San Joaquin, Calif., features both classroom and hands-on training environments to support local training and the Distribution Operations Training program. The lab came about when the Performance Excellence team worked with sister distribution center, DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pa., to build upon concepts observed at their lab.
In concert with DLA Distribution training guidelines and the standardized Distribution Operations Training program, the Distribution Training Lab will provide San Joaquin employees an opportunity to apply concepts learned in the classroom.
San Joaquin’s training lab is located in a former administrative storage space near the two largest classrooms. It includes 159 storage locations, receipt and pack work stations, mobile Distribution Standard System carts, and radio frequency hand-held scanners used to simulate the warehouse environment and how to process transactions.
“The concept of the lab is a miniature warehouse that contains both bin and bulk materiel,” said Sharri Wise, Performance Excellence Group performance improvement specialist. “It gives us the opportunity to do real-life training in a safe environment, where mistakes cannot negatively impact our mission or the warfighter.”
The training segments include receiving, stowing, selection, packing, and outloading. The lab will include the capability to demonstrate unique requirements for the Foreign Military Sales program and preservation, packing and marking.
“The San Joaquin Training Lab is aligned with the DLA strategic plan goal of Workforce Development. Our employees are excited about the new lab. Those who have gone through the process have provided us with more ideas and positive feedback. Our goal is to share what we learn with the training team and the enterprise. We believe this will be a great addition to our training toolbox,” said Kathy Brown, Performance Excellence Group chief.
