Development of a method for the simulation-based cost and benefit analysis of further education.

由于从工业社会向服务业社会的转变，工作发生了根本性的变化。这包括增加知识和知识获取的重要性。伴随着人口结构的变化，这导致了熟练劳动力短缺的大规模增加。公司无法用足够多的合格申请者来填补空缺职位。特别是，中小企业还面临着跨国公司为解决自身人才短缺而挖走高素质员工的问题。有必要增加对继续教育的使用，以便在现有员工波动的情况下获得知识并保持流程能力。然而，许多工业企业并没有投资于继续教育，因为员工的已知教育成本面临着不可评估的收益。因此，拟议的SAPA项目的目的是对继续教育进行全面的成本-收益分析。它包括优化实施进一步培训的方法，以及基于员工特定流程的绩效进行量化分析的方法。为了开发解决这一问题的创新方法，打算在生产工程和机床研究所(IFW)和职业与成人教育研究所(IFBE)之间开展跨学科合作。与不同行业和学科的公司进行项目相关合作是相辅相成的。工程师和教育科学方法的结合允许定义和开发新的与工作流程相关的模型，以描述员工对公司成功的影响，个人知识、能力和技能(能力)，以及员工在公司内表现出的行为(绩效)。将实现以模拟为基础的评估工具，量化个人业绩和对公司成功的影响方面进一步培训所需的变化。通过比较不同培训策略在时间、程度和内容上的不同，可以确定针对每个公司的最优培训策略。这一项目有助于制定适当的概念，以减少熟练劳动力的短缺。“SAPA”项目的结果涉及在参与者的技能发展方面优化继续教育的概念。

Due to the transition from an industrial to a service society, fundamental change in work take place. This includes an increased importance of knowledge and knowledge acquisition. In conjunction with demographic change, this leads to a massive increase in the shortage of skilled labor. Companies cannot fill their vacant jobs with enough qualified applicants. In particular, SME are also confronted with the problem that international corporations poach highly qualified employees to fix their own personnel shortages. Increased use of further education is necessary in order to gain knowledge and retain process capability despite existing employee fluctuation. However, many industrial companies do not invest into further education, because the known education costs for employee is facing a not ratable benefit.Therefore, the aim of the proposed project "SAPA" is the implementation of a holistic cost-benefit analysis of further education. It includes methods for the optimized implementation of further training and for their quantitative analysis based on the process-specific performance of employees. In order to develop innovative approaches to this problem, an interdisciplinary cooperation of the Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools (IFW) and the Institute for Vocational and Adult Education (ifbe) is intended. It is complemented by the project-related cooperation with companies of different sectors and disciplines. The combination of engineer and educational scientific approaches allows the definition and the development of new work process-related models to describe the effects of an employee to the company's success, the individual knowledge, abilities and skills (competence) and the shown action of an employee within the company (performance). A simulation-based evaluation tool will be realized that quantifies further training-required changes in individual performance and impact on the corporate success. By comparing different training strategies, which differ in time, extent and content, the optimized strategy can be determined for each company. This project contributes to the development of suitable concepts to reduce the shortage of skilled labor.The result of the project "SAPA" involves in a concept for the optimization of further education with regard to the skills development of participants.
