Being innovative is the strength of Olympus, be it product or the services. Providing quality services is one and making people aware about them is another. Olympus India has developed an awareness programme module designed towards care and maintenance of Olympus equipment and named as NTT (Nurses’, Technicians’ Training) programme . The module highlights are
a) To locate the end user and its associates (Bio-medical and para support staff): Having a huge database of users nationwide, users are selected according to the products available in the respective hospitals. Doctors are the experts and know the precautions during pre and post endoscopy procedures, but sometimes the support staff might overlook them, unknowingly resulting in breakage and huge financial losses.
So invitation are sent two months in advance to doctors, bio-medicals and admin in-charge of hospitals/nursing homes to encourage their staff participation in training programme
b) Provide basic know-how and functionality of the products: A person involved in day-to-day operations sometimes might not know the details, functions and principles on which the sophisticated instruments work on.
Professional trainers share this information and this creates interest in users since they come to know the product and its functions which help them to think in a positive direction with reasoning that why particular equipment needs a particular type of care.
c) Why to choose the authorised service provider over local vendor: Sometimes people prefer the cost over the quality without knowing the consequences.
Participants are educated on the difference in the facilities available with the authorised providers and local vendors. By using the old, corroded and spurious spare parts the precious human life can be endangered. Pictures, photographs and products are shown to demonstrate the difference. Olympus facilities available are shown to see and feel the difference.
d) Hands on experience: Best of the trainings tend to fail at times if only theory is poured in without its practical demonstration since theory and practical might differ at times during the real time procedures and cases in the hospital.
So products and their upkeepment in the most professional manner explained in theory session is further clarified with practical demonstration by dividing the participants into small groups where Olympus’ technical experts and the team of engineers are present to give them the demonstration and replying to their queries.
e) Interactive – Question Answer Session: Training is of no use if not converted and tested at real times.
So some real time problems are discussed and a test is conducted after the training. This test is conducted by asking some questions and later correct answers are suggested by experts with reasons.
