The complexity of modern machines and thus hardware-related activities has increased immensely in recent years. The drivers of complexity can be attributed to technological advances in the course of the so-called fourth industrial revolution and the market requirements regarding the fulfilment of mass customisation capabilities. This poses significant challenges for manufacturing companies in mastering value-adding production processes, given that—in addition to the technical advances in production equipment—the workforce must be further developed to ensure that the processes and equipment are mastered by production personnel in day-to-day production.
