DEVELOPMENT OF USER GROUP SPECIFIC TRAINING CONCEPTS FOR METROLOGY IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

Albert Weckenmann, Teresa Werner

Abstract

Measurement results provide important information about the measured objects. In industrial application, this is used to inspect products and control processes. To enable reliable statements based on the measurement results, all concerned employees need sufficient competences to fulfil their specific tasks, e.g. a correct execution of the measurement task, but also a proper interpretation of measurement results or inspection-oriented and functional dimensioning.<br />So far, many training offers for operators in metrology have been developed. But other user groups in an industrial enterprise also need appropriate training regarding fundamental knowledge and a basic understanding for metrological concerns. Thus, specific offers have to be designed, directed at the particular needs of typical user groups in an industrial enterprise, in order to enable informed communication and support cooperation among all employees concerned with the application of measurement results.<br />To ensure an efficient and comprehensive approach, a methodology for the development of advanced vocational training has been defined. Following this, a systematic analysis of the metrological competences needed by each user group has been executed. Combined with the results of a user needs analysis, requirements and constraints are defined as a base for the development of user group specific training concepts.
