Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Knowledge of quality-related activities is recommended for the course.

You will learn important technical terms and processes relating to the new industrial revolution and have knowledge of the introduction and support of digital transformation in the company. You will also master basic project management techniques and be able to apply them with software support (MS Project). You also understand the importance of change and innovation for business success and are familiar with the impact of changing processes and structures on the working environment.

You also have an in-depth understanding of the most important ISO standards and their integration. You know the basics of management systems, have mastered the process-oriented approach and understand the challenges of implementation. You will be able to plan, structure and implement an IMS, effectively integrating different standards. You also have skills in auditing, certification and documentation of IMS. With this knowledge, you will be able to successfully introduce, audit and continuously improve complex management systems in organizations.

The course is aimed at specialists and managers from production and service companies, public administration and operational management.

Specialists with expertise in the field of Industry 4.0 and knowledge of project management are not only employed by large industrial companies. Small and medium-sized companies that want to participate in the digital transformation are also looking for qualified personnel with knowledge of Industry 4.0. In addition, interdisciplinary knowledge of digital processes is in demand across all sectors.

Numerous requirements and standards determine the everyday life of companies and make it difficult to reduce the internal administrative workload in order to achieve an increase in productivity and greater process efficiency. By creating an integrated management system (IMS), a standardized system can be used for different areas, thus reducing the complexity of processes and the internal administrative burden. Employees with the relevant expertise to set up such an IMS are in demand on the job market across all sectors in large and medium-sized companies.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
