Operational Qualification 4.0:
Demographic change endangers operator competence also in Germany.
In times of high turnover, the requirements for systems for operational qualification for plant operators have changed fundamentally. The baby boomers are entering their well-deserved retirement. The ‘war for talent’ has broken out at many sites. The younger generation is proving to be more willing to change jobs than before, especially post-Covid. What’s next, the ‘great resignation’ in Germany? How can operational qualification keep pace with this? What methods are needed?
