COMPETENCE MANAGEMENT FOR BUSINESS INTEGRATION

Abstract

The flexibility and the reactivity required by today's challenges bring the modern organisations to be closely concerned by human resources issues. In the context of business integration, it is required that each partner can guarantee not only the quality of its products, but also the qualification and competence of its workforce. Usual models are not sufficient in highly constrained fields like aeronautics'. We show in this paper how a generic Competence Management model has had to be modified and enlarged in order to satisfy such constraints. Based on this model, a software has been developed, which implementation is in progress in three sites belonging to two different companies. We will show how such tool may allow to guarantee that only competent workers have been involved in the various steps of the manufacturing process, and may also to improve the way operational competences are managed in the company.
