Sustainable Personnel Development Based on Production Plans

The production environment is in a constant state of change. This results in a continuous change of production processes. A key factor in mastering change is to increase flexibility. To achieve this, the targeted training of employees is essential. Within the framework of the research project “reQenrol”, research is being conducted to sustainably design personnel development based on the competence and tasks of the employees. Manufacturing companies face the challenge to efficiently training their personnel for an increasing and dynamic range of tasks. Training measures must be adapted to personal skill level of employees as well as to requirements of individual tasks in production. As a basis for a competence-based workforce deployment and the realization of targeted training measures, a survey was conducted on the current training situation and the relevance of competences in production. The results are placed into the context of the concept for an assistance system that enables manufacturing companies to perform a dynamic, competence-based workforce scheduling and realize targeted employee training.
