Program Planning in the Context of Industrial Logistics Engineering Education

The training and further qualification of employees in terms of collaboration, digitalization, automation, sustainability, circular economy, and emerging technologies are seen as one of the most important requirements for the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 strategies. In this context, the systematic planning of educational initiatives can be used to guarantee a continuous professionalization and, therefore, a targeted individual as well as collective competence development. This paper reviews state of the art approaches for successful program planning in the context of industrial logistics engineering education. Moreover, the authors introduce a concept for the development of educational services for ILEE and preliminary validate a toolkit, respectively a scale, for the measurement of program planning success factors by conducting an exploratory factor analysis based on survey data.
