Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will understand the importance of the "human" factor in the context of production management and be familiar with the influences of leadership, flexibilization, mobility and digitization on working environments.
 
They will have mastered basic techniques of “management by objectives”. They will be able to define, agree and evaluate goals for themselves and their team. They will be able to give appreciative feedback and appropriately classify and represent themselves and their role in the operational context.
 
They will be able to take on management tasks within the framework of business management by designing and optimizing work systems and processes, as well as structuring and evaluating tasks and processes in terms of time. They will be familiar with the relevant laws and the basic principles of ergonomic workplace design.
 
They will be familiar with human resource management (basic terms, development/trends, strategic aspect, organization of human resource work). In addition to personnel planning and selection, students will be familiar with the topics of "personnel deployment and compensation". They will be able to evaluate the basic principles of company remuneration determination and structuring. To this end, they will be familiar with the basics of collective bargaining law and works constitution law, as well as the various methods of wage determination. With regard to personnel deployment, they will be familiar with the different modalities and variants of personnel deployment (e.g. training, working hours, leave, fixed-term employment, work environment, work design measures). Students will be familiar with the basics of onboarding new employees and the principles of workplace design.
 
The "Work, Personnel and Leadership" module will increase and strengthen students’ professional competence. Together with the degree program’s scientific-technical and the business administration modules, students will achieve the competence to consider and solve larger interdisciplinary problems and tasks of medium complexity holistically at the interface between production engineering and business administration, and to independently design further learning processes.
