The modern way of engineering workers training as the basis for the competitiveness increasing of Ukraine's machine-building enterprises

Abstract

It is analyzed the problems of specialists training by higher education institutions in the field of designing and manufacturing pumping equipment for enterprises in Ukraine. In the work examines details organizational structure inherent in engineering enterprises of Ukraine and the CIS countries, and comparativeness it with the structure of enterprises in developed countries with a market economy. The reasons for the low competitiveness of engineering enterprises in Ukraine are identified and ways to solve them are proposed. Examples of the organization structure of Ukrainian enterprises specializing in pumping equipment manufacture are given, and the influence of their structure on competitiveness is shown. Based on the analysis of the structural schemes of interaction between departments and bureaus of pumping enterprises in Ukraine and developed countries, as well as the needs of the labor market, the responsibilities of a modern engineering worker for a competitive enterprise are determined. The role of modern engineering workers in the competitiveness of products is shown. In article proposed a new term – “engineer-creator”, which most accurately characterizes the modern engineering and technical worker and meets the needs of the labor market. Requirements for engineering and technical workers of Ukrainian enterprises in the field of pump engineering have been formed. It is proposed to combine the functions of design, technological units and the marketing department into a subdivision of a engineer-creator to reduce production time, which will be positively affects by the competitiveness of the enterprise. In the article presents a methodology for training these personnel from the point of view of production needs on the basis of higher education institutions as part of in-depth inter-department cooperation on the basis of technical departments with the assistance of management and economics departments. The methodology describes the stages of training of future specialists, including the selection and formation of groups, management, and the process of employment, as well as a list of basic and additional disciplines for students of the educational and professional program "Hydraulic Machines and Devices" and related ones.
