Abstract
The development of multi-tasking skills for production employees in industrial factories is crucial for enhancing efficiency and flexibility within production processes. This article presents essential skill development approaches to enable employees to manage various responsibilities effectively. The key approaches consist of 5 methods: 1) cross-training, 2) job rotation, 3) technology integration to support work processes, 4) problem-solving skill development, and 5) promotion of communication and teamwork skills. Emphasis is placed on practical training in real-world environments, necessary skill analysis, suitable training program design, and the utilization of effective tools and technologies. The article demonstrates that these skill development practices enhance work flexibility, reduce production process risks, and strengthen employees' adaptability to industrial changes significantly.
