CM ProWork is a multilingual tool for the identification and development of competences in production systems. The tool can both be used for the depiction of competences and as a competence management tool for line managers in the frame of daily work routines. CM ProWork is a databased tool (Windows XP needed). The tool distinguishes between task related and process related competences. Both kinds of competences are displayed on seven dimensions in one uniform scale.

Task related competences refer to the abilities of workers acquired by task responsibility and execution of tasks. Process related competences refer to preconditions of workers such as ability to cooperate, communicate or continuing learning in the process of work. The competences are no general person related competences but exist with reference to the particular work activity only. Both kinds of competences are illustrated in a competence report.
