Titel
Simulation-based training modules for independent training of employees in the automotive industry
Abstract
The goal this work is to describe the conception and implementation of a simulation-based training environment, which is supposed to be used to train employees in the field of automotive logistics by the principle of cause and effect. Today's jobs are shifting away from executive positions to rather serviceorientated jobs and thus change quickly. This leads employees to adjust their skills and knowledge to the demands of the job market. The focus of training concept is put on the characteristics of andragogy, self-directed learning, as well as "on the job training", all based on the constructivism' learning approach. Aside from the theoretical principles of learning, practical examples of (simulation-based) training concepts are analyzed. Content-wise the training module is based on the standard processes of the internal logistics in the automotive industry. The implementation is done with the discrete-event simulation software "Plant Simulation".
