Resource-effectiveness evaluation in quality metering and competence management of young specialist selection

Abstract

The purpose of this work consists in the presentation of theoretical investigation results with regard to the problem of the management in young specialist selection for filling vacant seats under conditions of modern engineering industry on the basis of a quality metering and competence approach by means of the development of an index system of effectiveness in the realization of this process. Investigation results. The systems of analytical indices of realization efficiency are developed: a) in the process of a purposeful selection of young specialists for filling engineering seats in the system of quality management (SQM) of enterprises; b) in processes of designing and realization of basic educational programs and a process for the university SQM graduates support in the job placement. The systems are grouped into three sub-systems: absolute indices, relative indices and social-professional indices. Conclusions. The introduction of the model of quality metering – competence management in young specialist qualitative selection for filling vacant seats at enterprises allows reducing the non-correspondence level of the professional competences system of young specialists and official requirements to their competence under conditions of production; reducing working time and amount of financing for retraining young specialists in accordance with the requirements to the competence of personnel carrying out work affecting the correspondence to the requirements to products quality of the standard of ISO 9001.

Introduction

One of the urgent problems discussed actively in current scientific literature is a multi-dimensional problem of staff resources effective use under conditions of modern industry. On the one hand, specialists’ competence evaluation is necessary (Chamorro-Premuzic, & Furnham, 2014; Lester, 2014) and also the development of such a procedure for filling vacant engineering seats is needed at which there would be maximum used worker’s competence potentiality (Sandberg, & Pinnington, 2009; Willis, & Dubin, 1990). At that the account of the specificity of the system formation just with regard to engineering competences has priority (Aleksandrov, & Devisilov, 2013; Baine, 2015). On the other hand, the process of the potential formation of young specialist professional competences is realized at university and just because of this reason a university is responsible to its customers (enterprises) (Kugytė, & Šliburytė, 2015; Yeremeyeva, 2016) for their quality, completeness and a system (Sergeev, 2015; Walther, 2011). Besides, it should be taken into account also an experience available in the evaluation of the efficiency in the matter of the application of management technologies oriented to the increase of production resource-effectiveness as a category of universal quality (Bonato, & Quartieri, 1999; Roelich, 2015; Ruževičius, 2010; Savall, & Zardet, 2011).

The problem of quality increase in young specialist selection for modern industry in general consists in the realization of such a conceptual model in which there is established an effective correlation of an enterprise (personnel consumer carrying out personnel selection on the competence basis), the university system (a provider of personnel of a certain area) and the centers for evaluation and certification of personnel (independent experts on the evaluation of personnel quality). Within the bounds of such a model the basic vectors of a management process are specified.

Results

Design of quality metering and competence management in selection of young specialists (YS) for filling engineering positions (EP) based on Deming cycle (PDCA)

The development and introduction of the strategic partnership system integrated in the QMS of an engineering enterprise and universities and colleges (providers of engineering employees for the personnel) and the centers of the evaluation and certification of the staff is carried out on the basis of a number of Russian engineering enterprises carrying out manufacturing high-tech products for a long period of time with the use of the methodology of a system integration and realized in an inter-project mode. At the same time the activity on the formation and realization of the project was structured and contained some components.

The author has developed a general model of the quality metering management system (Fig.1) and the technology of the adaptive quality metering and competence typification of engineering personnel based on the application of the methodology of bisubject quality metering evaluation of objects of arbitrary nature (Morozova, & Kirichek, 2015).

Results

The introduction of methodological fundamentals of the bi-subject quality metering evaluation of objects with arbitrary nature (Morozova, 2015) as applied to the process of young specialist selection for filling vacant seats in Russian enterprises oriented to manufacturing science intensive products has shown the existence of a considerable social effect due to the introduction of such a system of management: the reduction of inadequacy in the system of professional competences of young specialists and functions to their competence under conditions of production; the reduction of working time and financing for young specialist re-training in accordance with the requirements to personnel competence carrying out work affecting the correspondence of requirements to product quality in accordance with the standard of ISO 9001.
