Target-oriented qualification concepts that train and sensitise the process planners and other actors involved for resource-oriented manufacturing are essential in the field of chipping production. Concepts supporting the conscious and sustainable handling of resources such as material and energy requirements are currently not available for employees.

The specification of a work task occurs through process planning. Therefore, the essential knowledge, skills and proficiency ought to be determined for the respective work task. Derived from this is the competency profile. By means of this profile, an employee-related target-performance comparison is possible. Subject of this comparison are the competencies required for the considered task. Furthermore, a presentation of the qualification demand is feasible with the help of this profile.

A method has been developed by the junior research group MoQuaRT and allows the identification and development of competencies with the aid of a partially standardised competency profile for the resource-efficient chipping production.
