MillerCoors Albany Brewery MillerCoors Albany Brewery has had a long-standing partnership with the Center for Business Solutions (CBS) at Albany Technical College. Over the years, CBS has assisted the brewery with meeting a variety of needs, from workplace safety training and basic equipment maintenance classes, to technical writing services.

Recently, many of the MillerCoors team members have taken advantage of the Lean Six Sigma certification programs.

Terry Edwards, Learning and Development Manager at MillerCoors Albany Brewery, says that CBS training programs have been a reliable source of developmental training opportunities for our team members.

“For example, Albany Tech helped us design and deliver basic equipment maintenance training to our packaging operators at the outset of the brewery’s WCM initiative in 2005, and much of that training is still in place today,” said Edwards. “Our packaging operations have benefited from the training as team members learned to conduct maintenance functions, in addition to operating the lines.”

The broader choice of programs Albany Tech’s CBS now provides will definitely help provide our team members who are seeking professional development with valuable options. The Lean Six Sigma (Green and Black Belt) program, Operations Management and Project Management programs are all examples.

“We worked very closely with MillerCoors when we were molding the curriculum for our Operations Management program,” said Matt Trice, Vice President for the Center for Business Solutions at Albany Tech.

Through the new Operations Management program, students may also transition into the bachelor’s program in Manufacturing Technology with an agreement between Albany Tech and Southern Polytechnic State University.

In the future, Edwards says the brewery will continue to look to CBS to provide relevant and timely training services.

“We appreciate the fact that Albany Tech is flexible and quick to respond to our needs,” he said.

Industrial Systems Technology Real World Simulation Provides Better Understanding of Industry The Industrial Systems Technology program at Albany Technical College is designed to prepare students for a career as an Industrial Systems technician/electrician. Both a diploma and a degree program are offered, along with three embedded technical certificates of credit including Industrial Fluid Power Technician, Industrial Motor Control Technician, and Programmable Control Technician.

Robert Permenter, instructor and chair for the program, says it’s the training in the lab that really gives the students

10

a head start in the workplace and gives them the necessary skills for performing their job.

Students in the field can expect to find Industrial Technician Maintenance jobs in Manufacturing Automated Systems and Controls, as well as control systems for any industry that has Electrical/ Mechanical Automation. Salary ranges are relatively high with an entry-level job starting between $14-16 per hour and after two to three years, pay can range from $20-30 per hour, depending on the industry of interest.

For more information about the Industrial Systems Technology program at Albany Tech, contact Robert Permenter at 229.430.6614 or email rpermenter@albanytech.edu. You can also visit Albany Tech’s website at www.albanytech.edu and click on the Industrial Systems Technology sub-link under Areas of Study.

Albert Williams, Industrial Systems Technology diploma graduate Industrial Systems Technology diploma graduate, Albert Williams, says that it’s the Real World simulation in the labs that provide a better understanding of the industry. He says this increases your knowledge way before you land a job.

Having just graduated, Williams has already landed a great job with the Army Corps of Engineers in Chattahoochee, Florida working at Jim Woodruff Dam Hydropower Facility as a Powerhouse Mechanic.

St udent Highlight

“This diploma helped me to land my job and I plan to move up in rank and one day retire here,” said Williams.

Williams’ background of being in the Air Force gave him some working knowledge in the field, however, he says the program definitely increased his knowledge and has given him a much better understanding of how Industrial Systems work.

He commends his instructor, Robert Permenter, for providing his class with such a wide range of knowledge in the field, especially for those who are just starting out.

“This diploma helped me to land my job and I plan to move up in rank and one day retire here.”

OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT Albany Technical College’s Center for Business Solutions now offers an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Operations Management. The program is designed to prepare individuals with the background they need to begin functioning as an entrylevel supervisor.

By providing an overview of operations management and its different components, the student obtains a working knowledge of processes that can be immediately implemented. This means that businesses can see individuals having an impact from the outset rather than waiting for a massive learning curve to be completed.

Student

Highlight

For the student looking to pursue a higher level of education, Albany Tech holds an

12

articulation agreement with Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU) in Atlanta. Through this agreement, students can transfer the majority of the credit hours earned in the AAS Operations Management program into the Manufacturing Technology bachelor’s program. By doing this, the student comes into the program at SPSU as a first semester junior and within two years, can earn their bachelor’s degree.

Two components of the Operations Management program include an embedded Quality Assurance Specialist Technical Certificate of Credit, which gives the student an opportunity to obtain the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.

This credential is in high demand among businesses and industries. In addition, a

student in the program can complete the academic requirement that would enable them to test for the Certified Associate in Project Management from the Project Management Institute.

The Instructor for the Operations Management program is Dr. Steve Eidson, who was also named as Albany Tech’s 2010 Rick Perkins Instructor of the Year. Through Eidson’s instruction, Albany Tech has been able to serve over 30 companies throughout the state of Georgia with obtaining Green and Black Belt certifications. Eidson also teaches the Project Management program and Lean Six Sigma at Albany Tech.

Operations Management provides “clearer picture” of overall supply chain management process within an organization As an employee of Maintenance Center Albany at the Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Michael Hall says the Operations Management program at Albany Technical College has provided him with a “clear picture” of the overall supply chain management process at Maintenance Center.

Hall, who will be halfway through the program by the end of this summer, says the “Green Belt” component of the program has allowed him to “think lean” in every project he works on.

“I truly believe the program has enhanced my abilities and has already benefitted my career,”

said Hall. “I am being considered for more jobs and even promotions that I was not being considered for in the past.”

Hall will be obtaining his Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Operations Management by the end of May 2014 (spring semester 2014).

He has aspirations to continue his education by enrolling in the transition program through Albany Tech and Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU) and ultimately, earning his bachelor’s degree. He says he would definitely recommend the Operations Management program to others wishing to pursue this career field.
