The PASSAGE project aimed to develop a “Capability Management Platform” providing Textile and clothing industrial associations with a set of validated products and services enabling their affiliated SMEs to efficiently manage the existing know-how and skills together with new competences taking the technological evolution into consideration. The objective of the platform was to make knowledge-based web-services available to the SMEs, taking a holistic view on the whole supply chain, to diagnose, forecast and manage know-how and competence needs. The PASSAGE Capability Management Platform offered a method, tools and related guidelines dedicated to the diagnostic of future critical know-how shortages and the definition of preventive actions to face them based on an anticipative human resource management methodology.
