Abstract
In the dynamic environment of Cross Enterprise Engineering and Product Design the importance of efficient cooperation and deployment of human resources is increasing. Based on the idea of Quality Function Deployment an approach for the management of competencies according to working conditions will be presented. The theoretical foundation for this approach represents the theory of person-environment fit. Also an empirically validated competency model and an index to describe working conditions in Cross Enterprise Engineering will be described.
Keywords: virtual product design, competency development for engineers, quality function deployment, person-environment fit, cross enterprise engineering, measuring working conditions
