Computer-supported competence management: Evolution of industrial processes as life cycles of organizations

摘要

The examination of human performance within industrial processes increasingly extends beyond the matter of resource implementation. In addition to traditional approaches to personnel assignment planning, new management methods for the preservation and further development of personnel are becoming established. The following paper discusses the effects and challenges related to computed-aided competence management. For this purpose it is indispensable to examine the notion of competence more in depth as well as the resulting competence management. Since as of yet no universally valid definition of competence exists, the following article discusses various facets of competence management and illustrates these by considering individual simulation-aided decision and planning tools for industrial process optimization.
