Competency Mapping in Chemicals: What Skills Should Purchase Managers, Product Managers, and Auditors Have?

Hi all, I am working on a project on competency mapping in a chemicals manufacturing company with a turnover of 600 crores. Can anyone suggest standard competencies for a purchase manager, product manager, and auditor?

Hi Ananya, there is no fixed rule for listing the competencies required for the mentioned designations. Competencies vary from organization to organization. Broadly, you should categorize the competencies into two main groups: Functional & Behavioral.

Steps to Determine Competencies

Before determining the competencies needed for the positions, it is advisable to create a PIQ (Position Information Questionnaire), Job Description, and Job Evaluation.

Hope this information is helpful.

I appreciate you posting the slides as it is always good to share and learn. We have been doing job competency profiling and developing organizational structures across a range of industry sectors and use the following model, supported by software:

Job Profiles Structure

Job profiles comprise two parts, i.e., competence and performance. Competence is about acquired job knowledge, acquired job skills, and inherent attributes/traits/aptitudes. Performance is about outputs, activities, and performance standards. These are both underpinned by values and behaviors. The resulting profile will be used to recruit, train, manage performance, etc. It is important to differentiate between competence and performance, as a deficiency in either may require very different remedies. Fortunately, we have software to capture all these fields, which then uses the data to automatically produce recruitment advertisements, performance management documents, and competence evaluation/assessment and training plans, etc.

In addition, we have a bank of over 240,000 competencies and 2,400 jobs which we often use as benchmarks to assist in the process of developing competency models and profiling.

Let me know if you are interested in further discussion.

Hi everybody, I am doing my MBA project on competency mapping at Tata Consultancy Services. I need to take 2000 samples. Please tell me which rating scale will be suitable. Thank you.
