Use of Computer Statistical Packages to Generate Quality Control Reports on Training

Abstract

Obtaining timely and efficient training management information using limited computer resources and commercially available statistical packages may be difficult in practice. TRAMS (Training Monitoring System) uses the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences to provide graphic summaries and statistical analysis of personnel attitudes before, during, or after training, and can also evaluate changes in attitudes over training. TRAMS takes input from cards during batch processing and produces graphic displays very similar to quality control charts. The output allows a rapid detection of deviant samples and systematic changes in attitudes over time. The system is readily adaptable to evaluation of training data other than attitudes, such as test scores, and easily provides ongoing monitoring of training results.
