The Problem
The Retraining Gap Nobody Talks About
A procedure gets revised. Quality updates the document, routes it through approval, and publishes the new revision. Done, right?
But who tells the 47 operators who were trained on the old version? With spreadsheets and email, people fall through the cracks. You send a few emails. Some people respond. Others don't. You forget to follow up. The matrix doesn't get updated.
Then the auditor arrives and finds operators working from Rev C when you're on Rev E.
Process
How Automatic Retraining Works
Five steps. Zero manual effort. Every revision accounted for.
- 1
Document gets a major revision
A new version is uploaded and approved through your normal document control workflow.
- 2
Training Tiger identifies affected users
Everyone previously trained on that document is automatically flagged — no cross-referencing required.
- 3
New training assignments created automatically
Each affected user gets a fresh training assignment linked to the latest revision. Email notifications go out immediately.
- 4
Users read, acknowledge, and re-qualify
They must read the updated version and re-acknowledge or re-pass the quiz — proving they understand what changed.
- 5
Skills matrix stays current automatically
As each person completes their retraining, the skills matrix reflects it. Full audit trail preserved.
Revision Types
Major vs. Minor Revisions — You Decide
Minor Revisions
Typo fixes, formatting changes, updated headers. The substance hasn't changed.
No retraining triggered.
Major Revisions
Process steps changed, safety requirements updated, new compliance criteria added. For manufacturers, people need to know.
Automatic retraining triggered.
You control the distinction. When uploading a new revision, simply mark it as major or minor. Training Tiger handles the rest.
ISO 9001
Why This Matters for ISO 9001
Clause 7.2 requires ongoing competence. When documented information changes (Clause 7.5), the people relying on it must be updated. Automatic retraining closes that loop.
Auditors look for evidence that training stays current with document revisions. Training Tiger provides that evidence automatically — complete with timestamps, acknowledgements, and quiz scores tied to specific document versions.
