### Identify Skills Gaps and Build a Stronger Manufacturing Team

Running a manufacturing operation means keeping your workforce trained, certified, and operating at peak proficiency. But tracking who needs recertification, which equipment operators need refresher training, or where quality control gaps exist can quickly become overwhelming when you're relying on spreadsheets and paper checklists.

This **Manufacturing Workforce Skills Assessment Form** gives you a centralized, digital solution for conducting thorough training needs assessments across your production floor. It's designed specifically for manufacturing managers, HR teams, and training coordinators who need to identify skills gaps quickly and build targeted development plans.

#### What Makes This Skills Assessment Different

Unlike generic employee evaluation forms, this template is built around the three critical competency areas in manufacturing: safety compliance, equipment operation, and quality control. You can assess each team member's certification status, hands-on proficiency with specific machinery, and understanding of quality standards—all in one structured assessment.

The form captures everything from OSHA compliance and forklift certifications to CNC operation skills and lean manufacturing knowledge. This means you can identify exactly where training investments will have the biggest impact on safety, productivity, and product quality.

#### Streamline Your Training Program with Paperform

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can tailor follow-up questions based on roles, departments, or proficiency levels—so machine operators see equipment-specific questions while quality inspectors get detailed questions about inspection protocols. This keeps assessments relevant and efficient.

Once you've collected your skills data, use **Stepper** (stepper.io) to automate what comes next. Automatically route assessment results to department managers, trigger training enrollment workflows for employees below proficiency thresholds, or schedule recertification reminders 30 days before safety tickets expire. You can even sync results to your HRIS or learning management system to keep training records current without manual data entry.

**Papersign** (papersign.com) can help too—after identifying skills gaps, send training acknowledgment forms or updated safety protocols for electronic signature, creating a complete audit trail tied back to the original assessment.

#### Built for Manufacturing Teams That Value Safety and Quality

Whether you're managing a 20-person machine shop or a 200-person production facility, this skills assessment form helps you maintain compliance, reduce workplace incidents, and ensure every team member has the competencies they need to do their job well. It's a practical tool for operations managers, HR specialists, and safety coordinators who need clear visibility into workforce capabilities without adding administrative burden.

Paperform is trusted by manufacturers worldwide and is SOC 2 Type II certified, giving you a secure, professional platform for managing sensitive employee skills data. Start assessing your team's capabilities today and build a training program that's based on real data, not guesswork.
