Abstract

The article identifies current trends in the composition of indicators and the number of professional competencies of production managers for interaction with contractors. It is proposed to use the assessment center's tools to assess the current level and form a promising set of competencies. The experience of using the assessment center tools for these purposes at industrial enterprises of a large industrial center of our country is summarized. The expediency of using the developed methodological procedure of qualitative cluster grouping to obtain a visual representation of the dynamics of changes for each competence model is justified. This made it possible to visualize the dynamics of changes in the clusters of two professional competencies of production managers for interaction with contractors. The conclusion is formulated that in the work of specialists in assessing the professional competencies of middle-level managers using the assessment center tools, the emphasis should shift to the development of such models of professional competencies for interaction with counterparties that allow taking into account the dynamics of the market, its development prospects and the requirements of potential customers.
