DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING BY USING SERIOUS GAMES

This paper will present preliminary results of the EU-funded FP7 integrated project TARGET. The main aim of the project is to develop a novel technology-enhanced learning platform that provides learners with a responsive environment that addresses the rapid, personalized competence development and the sharing of experiences associated with introducing sustainability into a manufacturing enterprise. The main objectives of the paper are to deduce specialized sustainability-related competences for managers and to convert them into a virtual game scenario. Besides the research approach of deriving the competences, critical incidents in the game will be presented. The findings and potential application will be demonstrated in a case based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
