Retos que la digitalización induce en la educación europea sobre gestión industrial

Abstract

A critical mass of Knowledge Workers (KWs) is required to fill the gap between the ever-increasing deficit between demand and offer in the field of Industrial Engineering and Management (IE&M) in Europe. This paper aims at identify weaknesses in combining organizational methodologies for the production of goods and services and new digital technologies in the implementation of the so-called Industry 4.0 (I4.0) paradigm. The main objective is to identify innovative characteristics and paradigms able to close the existing gap in IE&M, creating new curricula for university students and industry workforce and eventually contributing to reduce the shortage of KWs in the manufacturing sector. In this context an European initiative named IE3 under the Erasmus + program will be introduced.
