  text: The digital transformation of manufacturing companies is a huge driver of
    complexity in organizational structures and processes. Challenges such as an increasing
    number of variants, rapid changes in technology, and a multitude of interfaces
    between IT systems within companies require changed qualifications in the workforce.
    Employees lack a profound understanding of the added value that digitalization
    can bring to the company and themselves. To address these challenges, simulation
    games are a suitable approach. Simulation games are active learning methods that
    simulate real systems in an artificial environment. The goal is to give employees
    the opportunity to gain experience and make decisions without creating a pressure
    situation or endangering the real production system. This enables them to better
    understand, evaluate and design real systems. In order to make optimal use of
    simulation games in manufacturing companies, they should be customized to the
    company and its employees due to individual processes and structures. This paper
    presents a procedure model for designing a concept of individualized simulation
    games for manufacturing companies in the context of digitalization. It starts
    with the identification of requirements. Subsequently, the requirements of the
    individual elements are combined into a holistic simulation game. The piloting
    of the framework is presented using an example from industrial practice.

  text: Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based applications promise great potential benefits
    for companies. However, an isolated consideration of the technical system is not
    sufficient for the design. Rather, it is necessary to design the entire work system
    taking into account the socio-technical system approach. This enables the combination
    of the strengths of people and intelligent systems. This paper presents an approach
    for a socio-technical requirements elicitation in the design of AI-based systems
    by adapting the HTO-analysis. First, a mission statement is developed. Based on
    a detailed process modelling, existing data and systems are recorded. In addition,
    all relevant stakeholder groups are included by conducting interviews and surveys.
    Thus, the procedure enables the derivation of a comprehensive catalogue of requirements.
    The application of the approach is illustrated by using an example from industrial
    practice, the design of an intelligent workforce planning system.
