Abstract
Employee training is essential for corporate activities to improve their production efficiency and product quality. The most representative two types of employee training are known, i.e., on-the-job training and off-the-job training. Off-the-job training can be classified into two types, i.e., compulsory training and non-compulsory training. Safety training and compliance are known as compulsory training, and they are needed to ensure that daily work continues without serious problems. Compulsory education is undertaken in a classroom every year by all employees of a department or section. Daily e-learning is effective for complementing and enhancing mandatory education and it helps employees to remember what they have learned during their annual education. In this paper, we discuss optimal employee safety education models that are complemented and enhanced by e-learning. The expected cost rate of education is expressed using the imperfect maintenance model, and the optimal policies that minimize it are discussed.
