S — Situation

Four shifts are already under way

Electrification
More cars are becoming EVs
The mechanical drivetrain is being replaced. With the Vitesco integration, electric drive systems and sensor technology are now in-house work.
Automation
Factories run on smart technology
Automated lines need people who read data and whole systems — mechatronics, software and thermal management, not mechanics alone.
Customers
Faster service, better products
Expectations keep rising, and quality has to hold across every operation and every supplier in the chain.
Sustainability
Green is now an operating standard
The Schaeffler Climate Action Plan turns energy efficiency, renewable sourcing and circular production into daily practice.

S — Situation

All five core disciplines ask for the same thing: new skills

01
Mechatronics & System Solutions
Mechanics together with power electronics, software and thermal management.
02
E-Mobility & Electric Drive Tech
Advanced electric drive systems and sensor technology after the Vitesco integration.
03
Green Production & Decarbonization
Energy-efficient systems, renewable sourcing and a circular economy approach.
04
Quality & Supply Chain Integrity
Continuous improvement and transparent ESG supplier standards across operations.
05
Lifelong Learning & STEM Competencies
Upskilling the workforce through the Schaeffler Academy — where our idea lives.
The gap
Every one of these is a people requirement before it is a technology requirement.
Training already exists. What is missing is a path that is personal, gated and measurable — so learning keeps pace with the technology instead of trailing it.

T — Task

Grow future-ready competencies inside the workforce we already have.

Without pulling people off the line
Measurable enough to sit in a KPI
Portable across the group

Anchored in the Schaeffler Academy — Discipline 5, Lifelong Learning and STEM Competencies.

A — Action  ·  The idea

One path per person, built by AI

The eLearning platform already holds the courses. Personalised AI decides which one comes next: it reads the role, the level reached and the gap against the discipline the person works in — then assigns the module that closes it.

Drawn from the five core disciplines
Mechatronics
E-mobility
Green production
Quality & supply chain
STEM
Your role and function
The level you have reached
The gap the plant needs closed
Your next module
Assigned automatically — no catalogue to search, no guesswork about what to take.

A — Action  ·  Step 01

Finish the courses to reach the next level

A level opens only when the modules below it are complete. Progression is earned rather than scheduled, and everyone can see exactly what stands between them and the next step.

No skipping — completion is the key

A — Action  ·  Step 02

The same work meets the KPI

Levelling up is not an extra task on top of the target — it is the target. Completions feed straight into the learning KPI, so one effort is counted once, automatically, with no parallel reporting to keep up.

A — Action  ·  Step 03

One e-Certificate, admitted across Schaeffler

Every completion issues an e-Certificate. It belongs to the person, not the department — so a qualification earned on one line is recognised when they move to another team, plant or country.

Transferable
Recognised group-wide
Issued automatically
e-Certificate
[COURSE TITLE]
Awarded to [EMPLOYEE NAME] on completion of the required eLearning modules.

R — Result

A workforce that is ready before the technology lands

A live skills map of the plant
Every completion updates what Schaeffler Malaysia can actually do — by level and by discipline, ready to plan against.
Faster ramp-up on new technology
New lines and electric-drive systems are staffed by people who already sit at the right level.
The learning KPI closes itself
No separate reporting exercise. Target for this cycle: [YOUR TARGET]
Qualifications that travel
e-Certificates recognised across Schaeffler, so moving between teams and sites costs far less time.

R — Result  ·  What, how, why

Where we come in

What it means to me
Learning stops being a course I owe and becomes the way I move up.
The path is mine, the level is visible, and the certificate is proof I can carry anywhere in the group.
How I contribute
Run the first cohort and report what the AI gets wrong.
Map the roles to levels, take the pilot path myself, and feed the misfires back so the next round is sharper.
Why
The technology only pays off if the people running it are ready first.
Machines can be bought in a quarter. Competence cannot — which is why it has to start today.
Start today: one pilot cohort, one discipline, one quarter.
