Objective
OBJECTIVES
Simultaneous engineering approaches are essential to ensure that design for manufacture makes the best use of workers' skills and new manufacturing techniques. Global competition requires that the traditional approach must be replaced by team structures. In transnational supplier partnerships this also means reconciling cultural differences and developing organisational structures with several centres of specialists. This project aims at implementing the technical co-operation agreement between European Gas Turbines (EGT) and Wartsila Diesel to create an effective transnational supplier partnership. It will develop training qualifications for the continuing professional development of engineers and use the partnership to learn about the operation of transnational teams.
ACTIVITIES
EGT and Wartsila will set up product design teams and monitor their progress. Training specialists within the partnership companies will develop the training modules required, in consultation with the engineering training authorities and social partners. They will develop training modules for a simultaneous engineering approach to new engine design and the transfer of technical skills. They will also develop training modules on team work, communication and cultural awareness in transnational teams. The training authorities will have the primary role of disseminating the training materials and using them as the basis for developing continuing vocational training qualifications.
PRODUCTS
- Training modules on developing cross cultural links and good working team relationships between transnational partners.
- A training guide on new simultaneous engineering approaches.
- Units for continuing professional development which can be accredited by professional institutes and training authorities.
