This has been my entire development career.

We’re switching to this other thing that somehow everyone already knows or understands quickly. More information can be found in the AB publication LGEM5K. The goal is to mimic the function of a PLC without the actual hardware and thus do advanced debugging. Oops! Scratch that! We are no longer using those tools or that part. RSLogix Emulator 5000 is a software simulator for the Allen Bradley line of Logix 5000 controllers (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, SoftLogix5800 and DriveLogix). Repeat until you reach 100% mastery and match the other techs in speed and efficiency. The next morning, you wake up retaining a working, useful memory of only 10% on how to use the specialized tools. You again feel confident by the end of the day that you understand and go to bed thinking you’ll at least get within 10-20 minutes of the faster techs in your install. You retrain that day as a review, but your install time still suffers in comparison. The next morning, you wake up retaining a working, useful memory of only about 5% on how to use the specialized tools and installation of the part. I’ll remember how this works tomorrow and I’ll be twice as fast tomorrow as I was today.” You go to bed that night thinking “I’ve got this. It takes you a couple of hours compared to other techs who learned quicker than you and can do it in 20 minutes. Others are complicated, single-purpose tools that only work to install this one part. Some are standard tools, like a screwdriver, that most people know how to use. You just got trained today on a new part install, including all the task-specific tools it takes to install it.
