MAPS Now Available Online as eMAPS

10/4/2011By Dr. Diane Hinds

Several years ago, Trusight conducted an extensive study to create and validate a series of selection assessments for manufacturing and production positions called MAPS™ (Manufacturing Applicant Profile System). Extensive research has proven that MAPS assessments consistently predict success in various positions such as Assembler, Machine Operator, and Product/Material Handler. We are pleased to announce that we are launching the online version of MAPS which is called eMAPS (electronic MAPS).

The online version beta testers told us they spend significantly less time administering and scoring assessments as eMAPS automatically times the tests and scores the assessments. In addition, the assessment results are available real time. That’s quick data to help you make your decisions! For those of you who have to manage volumes of hiring documents, the system also features solutions to help you with electronic record retention requirements.

eMAPS is also customizable: you have the opportunity to select the combination of assessments that are matched to your job groups. For example, some positions may require the ability to decipher diagrams, while others may require math or logic skills, so your assessment can be tailored to test for the skills most relevant to your jobs. As always, Trusight consultants are available to assist you in determining the best mix of assessments for your open positions. In addition to assessments of specific skills related to production and manufacturing positions, eMAPS includes a Work Preference Question that assesses traits such as orientation to quality and industriousness that are critical factors to performance success in these positions.

For more information on the skills and ability as well as work preference assessments, refer to our July 2011 sightlines article, “Pre-employment Assessments – NEW Online Format” available on our website at www.trusightinc.com and search “pre-employment assessment.”

If you would like to view a demo of eMAPS or have any questions, please contact Lisa Stock at [email protected] or 763-253-9151.
