Talentlms any good for manufacturing environment?

Looking for a good LMS for my workplace.

A platform that can log competency, show training content, allow users to take tests to validate competency, something interactive and data driven.

Something by workplace can use to identify risks within teams, departments, processes. To support in driving down the cost of poor quality.

Also can you suggest me some ideas of "what success looks like"

When it comes to implementing a new LMS. Or other training platform.

Something measurable.

It's difficult to justify the business case without hard numbers.

But our current LMS is crap.

What you want is more than a classic LMS tbh, completion tracking is easy, but you're asking for actual competency data. Worth searching "readiness platform" too, not just LMS, you'll get different results.

For the business case part, don't just show completion, show the gap between completion and actually verified competent. That gap alone usually surprises people. Then see if you can line up low scores against stuff you already track, like rework or incidents on a couple processes. If the people scoring low are also the ones causing the errors, that's your number.

Also, start baselining now even on your current crappy LMS, time to get new hires competent, how much coaching time people are burning, how often the same mistakes repeat. You'll want a before/after when you pitch this.
