“Addressing the challenges of attracting young talent to manufacturing education”


Agenda of the Workshop

10.00 – 10.20 ManuSkills (Background, Mission, Experiments) Stefano Perini – Politecnico di Milano

10.20 – 10.50 A ManuSkills Experiment: The LEGO Exploratorium

Prof. Poul Kyvsgaard Hansen – Aalborg University 10.50 – 11.00 Q&As Session


“Envisioning an advanced ICT-supported build-up of Manufacturing skills for the Factories of the Future”


Agenda

• ManuSkills – Background

• ManuSkills – Mission

• ManuSkills - Experiments


Background


Talent Gap in Manufacturing


Unfilled Manufacturing jobs by country


Expected world Manufacturing shortage of workers


Skills and labour shortages by economic sector


The company perspective


Manufacturing – What CEOs say?


Ever Changing Learning Domains


Factories of the future are expected to create a large amount of employment opportunities for citizens. Factory workers are key to competitiveness but challenges such as changing demographics & news skills must be addressed. Policies should address the following items: • New approaches to accommodate different demographics

• New technical, educational & organisational ways to increase attractiveness of factory work

• New approaches to development of skills & competences

• New ways to organise factories: Human-centred work environments

• Ways to integrate future factory work into social patterns

Knowledge Workers


1. Understand the barriers and enablers for young talent

2. Study innovative education delivery and training mechanisms

3. Mobilise stakeholders from business, government, academia, civil society and international companies

4. Strengthen quality of manufacturing education addressing parents, children and educators

Suggestions for an open discussion on how to attract young talents


Mission


ManuSkills - Mission

To study the use of enhanced ICT-based technologies and training methodologies to understand how to: 1. Facilitate an increase of the interest of young talents in

Manufacturing 2. Support their training of new Manufacturing skills


Target Groups


Delivery Mechanisms


Main Actions

1. Develop different Experiments, i.e. ICT-based scenarios defined in terms of Requirements, Delivery Mechanism, Content and Target Group

2. Test the Experiments in different environments (e.g. secondary schools, universities)

3. Evaluate the scientific and practical outcomes of the Tests


Expected Impact • Understand how to make Manufacturing education

more attractive to young talents

• Understand how to facilitate transformative deep learning of individuals, with reduced time-to-competence

• Collect a wide range of Lessons Learned to be used as guidelines and recommendations for Manufacturing companies and National and International institutions

Platform 2/2


Experiments - Testing • Testing of the Experiments is running in ManuSkills’ academic

partners (Politecnico di Milano, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Aalborg University, University of Patras) and in secondary schools

• Interested stakeholders are welcome to visit ManuSkills platform and navigate the Experiments being developed: http://demo.manuskills.org/

• ManuSkills is happy to offer the available content for the testing

and evaluation of the results in other institutions and educational contexts





Experiments - Expansion

• ManuSkills promotes the collaboration among academia, research centres and companies working on ICT-based manufacturing education

• Interested stakeholders are welcome to add their own contents on ManuSkills platform, accessing ManuSkills academic and educational network

What is good and motivating teaching within the broad discipline of manufacturing?

What are the difficulties and barriers in delivering good and motivating within the broad discipline of manufacturing?


Some Insights • Both students and teachers are highly motivated by

real life, realistic, and updated cases (that they can relate to). This is rarely supported by current textbooks

• There is a rich potential in video material and informative web pages publicly available. However, it is difficult and time consuming to get overview and verify quality

• Companies are willing to deliver content but find the requests from institutions unfocused and uncoordinated.

8 Manufacturing Challenges


Challenge #1

You have a small specified production facility at 64 square meters. You have one plastic moulding machine. You have the necessary moulds. Your are two persons on the task.

Establish a new production setup to produce 250,000 white LEGO Minifigures.


Challenge #1 – Task 1

The LEGO Minifigure consists of 9 plastic parts: Head Upper body Left arm Right arm 2 hands (no difference between left and right) Hip Left leg Right leg This makes 8 different plastic parts


Challenge #1 – Task 3

T, Cycle Time

Ti, Injection Time

Tc, Cooling Time

Tpa, Packing Time Tpl, Plastifying Time

Tm, Machine Movement Time

The sequence of the components in the plastic moulding cycle time can seen below:

The packing time (Tpa) and the plastifying time (Tpl) will take place during cooling and machine movement and they do therefore not impact the total cycle time.


Challenge #2

You have have succeeded with the tasks of Challenge 1.

You have verified that you can produce and deliver 250,000 white LEGO Minifigures.

The next challenges are focusing on the cost aspects.


Challenge #2

Task 3:

Your customer offers you 0.50 € per delivered minifigure. Can you make a profitable business with this offer?

If not, what price would you demand from the customer?
