Orientation of REFA

The REFA Association is considered to be Germany’s leading organisation in work design, industrial organisation and company development. The association has transferred know-how since its foundation in 1924: for a long time through further education, for the past few years increasingly also through consulting and coaching. With its continuously further developed core competences REFA contributes to optimising the competitiveness of the economy as well as the working conditions of workers and employees.

 

REFA-Grundausbildung 2.0

this is your fundamental knowledge in industrial engineering

"ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES"

 

The benefits of REFA program are:

 

1. A set of tools and methods to make an enterprise efficient and competitive.

Your employees receive methodical training for analyzing, designing and optimizing workplaces and processes when getting training. And you lay the groundwork for the introduction of lean production in your company.

 2. Knowledge and skills in the organization of labor and manufacturing management, especially:

  • analysis of working systems and processes in terms of existing reserves
  • development of optimization proposals
  • obtaining actuals regarding time expenditures
  • time evaluation for order processing
  • professional use of labour rate settings methods for development and building an effective wage system

3. Award

In case of successful passing of proposed exams, students will receive a German Diploma REFA in the Organization and Management of Manufacturing Systems and Processes.

 

Purpose of the program

 

To give students the knowledge and skills that will allow them:

 

  • to analyze “bottlenecks” in production systems and develop proposals for their elimination,
  • to plan, to design, to structure and to implement a process-oriented labour management,
  • to get the actuals of time expenditure and evaluate time for order processing,
  • to rate works professionally and differentiate remuneration for work based on the result achieved,
  • to use appropriate tools to build an effective wage system.

 

The REFA program is for:

  • production managers and economists of production/service departments,
  • heads of production-support departments and logistics specialist,
  • managers or specialists in performance standards and wage rate fixing,
  • specialists whose responsibility lies in the organization of production systems and processes, the development of performance standards, management of production and production personnel.
