Concept for the Competence Development and Learning Process of Assembly Workers

The challenges facing manufacturing companies today increase the importance of developing assembly worker competence. At the same time, the complexity of competence development is growing with the expanding number of available devices and methods. To support managers in planning competence development, a systematization is needed. In this paper, a structured literature review of definitions regarding human resources development and existing methods for planning competence development was conducted. Building on the findings, a concept was elaborated on how a production manager can plan and control the learning process of an assembly worker. The concept is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act-cycle and a learning process model and contributes to achieving more resilient productions.
