We also revisited a validation study for Production Technician at Kellogg – Lancaster because of the introduction of new technology and changing job duties. We began by completing an item analysis on approximately 800 tests previously administered. We then validated a new proprietary basic skills test battery. Our local contact was Pat Smith, Labor Relations Supervisor.

Pat Smith also engaged us to assess and update the Packing Technician Test. We performed an item analysis and used that data and input from job experts to revise the test, making certain the content was appropriate for the Packing Technician job and equipment at Kellogg – Lancaster in 2010.

At Stepan Company in Elwood, IL we custom-designed and validated a test to evaluate Multi-Skilled Maintenance Mechanic personnel for Jim Swenson, Employee Relations Manager. The job experts were able to choose the most appropriate test questions from Ramsay Corporation’s database of over 18,000 items. The test was designed to measure knowledge and skill in mechanical and electrical areas for various levels of the position. Stepan Company plans to administer the tests using Ramsay Corporation’s Online Testing System.

Stanley Chapman, Training Coordinator at Platte River Power Authority in Fort Collins, CO, asked us to conduct a validation study for Power System Operator Trainee.

At Bayer CropScience, Stephen Farley, Senior Human Resources Business Partner, wished to test for the position of Operator at their Institute, WV facility. Job experts evaluated tests developed for a similar Bayer plant, and asked us to validate those tests for them. The resulting test battery includes Chemical Knowledge and Mechanical Aptitude measures as well as other basic skills tests.

We worked with Mary Jo DeRosa, Labor Relations, to evaluate tests previously completed for Heater at U.S. Steel – Clairton Works. Some machinery was no longer in existence and test questions needed to be revised. The validation study and tests were updated to reflect new equipment and technology at the facility. The custom-developed tests will be used as mastery assessments for the Heater training program.
