Objective
The aim of the "virtual factory" project is to train company managers and students in the network economy, where every part of a network does those things which it can do best. It is essential that every worker has a good overview of all the functions of the factory. By simulating dataflows within the factory, the programme developed by the project will help the user fulfil all functions of the company in a safe environment.
The programme will draw on software and training material from sales, production and storage departments, as well as from subcontractors. It will be applicable in initial education, short courses and continuing education. The "virtual factory" will be delivered as a CD-Rom or on the Internet.
Impact
The project will provide students with a more realistic view of the real world by giving them a chance to practice all of the operations they might have to carry out in a factory. It will also give companies the possibility to develop courses to help their employees understand better the effects of their work on others within the company. The product itself will constitute a contribution to the development of lifelong learning.
