Concepts for improving employee qualifications for resource-efficient chipping production

Abstract

In the field of parts production of highly stressed components, qualification concepts are absolutely necessary. Process planners, foremen, workers and other actors ought to be sensitized to and purposefully trained in the topic of resource-oriented production. According to the current state and depending on the respective work task, employees should develop and improve their skills and knowledge through motivation, methodological guidance, computer-aided models of selected equipment and manufacturing processes. Within the ESF junior research project “MoQuaRT - models and qualification concepts for resource-efficient parts production” a qualification concept was exemplary developed. In addition to the fundamental possibilities for saving resources, the concept focuses on the topics of energy, material and time resource savings. Among other things, an energetic comparison of different production variants, based on models for the energy demand forecast, is embedded. Thus, this topic makes a significant contribution to saving resources in chipping production.
