Answer / ragini
Advantages:
• Low cost - does not require the development of
potentially expensive training materials or
classroom/computer-based instruction.
• Task-based - Since OJT is performed at the work
area, training tends to be focused on performing real job
tasks.
• Well suited for small groups - OJT is often the
most practical training method when you only need to train
one or two employees at a time.
•
Disadvantages:
• Inconsistent - Traditional OJT relies heavily on an
experienced employee to provide the instruction based on
what they feel are the most important topics. What is
important to one employee may not be important to another.
The result is what is learned may vary greatly, depending
on who is assigned as the trainer.
• Incomplete - Without a structured lesson guide, OJT
trainers often forget to cover important information. What
is learned is likely to be based on what happened that day
rather than on what a new employee needs to know to be safe
and productive.
• Lack of founding principles - While the hands-on
aspect of OJT may appeal to the practical learner, often
the underlying theories of operation are not covered in
sufficient detail or accuracy. Without this foundation of
knowledge, trainees often learn what to do, not why they
are doing it, resulting in poor decision making when things
don't go exactly right.
• Bad habits - The trainee observes and may adopt the
trainer's habits and attitudes about all aspects of the job
including safety, quality, customer service, and
relationship with management. Poorly selected trainers can
have many unintended consequences.

On-the-job training
With on the job training, employees receive training whilst remaining in the workplace.
The main methods of one-the-job training include:
Demonstration / instruction - showing the trainee how to do the job
Coaching - a more intensive method of training that involves a close working relationship between an experienced employee and the trainee
Job rotation - where the trainee is given several jobs in succession, to gain experience of a wide range of activities (e.g. a graduate management trainee might spend periods in several different departments)
Projects - employees join a project team - which gives them exposure to other parts of the business and allow them to take part in new activities. Most successful project teams are "multi-disciplinary"
The advantages and disadvantages of this form of training can be summarised as follows:
Advantages
Disadvantages
Generally most cost-effective
Employees are actually productive
Opportunity to learn whilst doing
Training alongside real colleagues
Quality depends on ability of trainer and time available
Bad habits might be passed on
Learning environment may not be conducive
Potential disruption to production
