Abstract

German-speaking countries have a long tradition of skill-based manufacturing. Within the German dual system of vocational training, production workers are provided with a high degree of qualifications, experience, and skills. Nowadays, however, advances in technology and the increasing use of numeric control for machine tools and other types of production machinery are major factors endangering this tradition. It is therefore of particular interest to investigate the extent to which forms of shopfloor programming are applied which can help to stabilize or even increase production workers' skills and qualifications, thus preserving their ability to work autonomously.
