Abstract The modern business world requires, in addition to substance knowledge, an extensive set of more practical and generic skills from engineering graduates. Supply Chain and Operations Management (SCM/OM) experts often work as business process developers. This requires skills related to for example cross-functional coordination and the ability to comprehend the big picture and dynamics of supply chains and operation environments. Sharing experiences of generic skill descriptions and teaching methods would facilitate the translation of generic skills into different engineering education disciplines. The aim of the paper is to present a way of describing and categorizing the focal SCM/OM generic skills and to analyze how the skills can be adopted and implemented in SCM/OM study programs. The paper is based on an empirical case analysis of a SCM/OM study program. The main generic skills related to the SCM/OM discipline are described and categorized into two skill areas: the ability to design feasible improvement solutions and the ability to carry out improvement work in organizational networks. These described skill-sets are named integration skills. Teaching integration skills in SCM/OM study programs should be fully integrated with the teaching of substance knowledge, and integration skills should be developed progressively in stages throughout the studies using activating teaching methods. In teaching integration skills, the recognized and analyzed pedagogical methods are the use of increasingly challenging real-life assignments and empowering working processes for students. A combination of the methods in teaching sets gradually increasing requirements for students in learning both integration skills and substance knowledge.

在供应链和运营管理学习计划中培养整合技能

摘要 现代商业世界要求工程专业的毕业生除了具备实质性知识外,还需要具备大量更实用和通用的技能。供应链和运营管理 (SCM/OM) 专家通常担任业务流程开发人员。这需要与跨职能协调相关的技能以及理解供应链和运营环境的全局和动态的能力。共享通用技能描述和教学方法的经验将有助于将通用技能转化为不同的工程教育学科。本文的目的是提出一种描述和分类重点 SCM/OM 通用技能的方法,并分析如何在 SCM/OM 学习计划中采用和实施这些技能。本文基于对 SCM/OM 研究计划的实证案例分析。与 SCM/OM 学科相关的主要通用技能被描述并分为两个技能领域:设计可行的改进解决方案的能力和在组织网络中执行改进工作的能力。这些描述的技能集称为集成技能。SCM/OM学习项目中整合技能的教学应与实体知识的教学充分结合,在整个学习过程中,采用激活式教学方法,分阶段逐步培养整合技能。在教授整合技能方面,公认和分析的教学方法是使用越来越具有挑战性的现实生活任务,并为学生赋权工作流程。
