  1. 0:00Forecast Haku Metal Autumn 2026. What
  2. 0:04will be on it? We'll talk about that in
  3. 0:06this video. The next Haku metal exam is
  4. 0:17just around the corner. Autumn 26 is
  5. 0:20coming soon and, as always, we're
  6. 0:22taking this as an opportunity to
  7. 0:24venture a forecast. What could come up
  8. 0:28in this next Haku Metal exam,
  9. 0:29technology and organization? First
  10. 0:32warning right off the bat. We are the
  11. 0:34original, which means we've been doing
  12. 0:35this from the very beginning. We've
  13. 0:40been making these videos since at least
  14. 0:422023, by industrial masters for
  15. 0:43industrial masters, giving you an
  16. 0:45insight and a forecast of what might
  17. 0:47actually appear in the exam, and that
  18. 0:49brings us to our second point, because
  19. 0:51we don't have the exams. Yes, we don't
  20. 0:55know the exam, we don't have it, we
  21. 0:57haven't seen it yet. And how do we come
  22. 0:59up with these forecasts? Quite simply,
  23. 1:03we looked into the past and checked
  24. 1:05which topics come up again and again
  25. 1:06and which topics appear less frequently
  26. 1:08, and I have to say, we've actually
  27. 1:10been pretty good with that in the past.
  28. 1:14So, therefore, we're taking another
  29. 1:16look at the Autumn 26 exam, and for
  30. 1:18that, I've brought in some
  31. 1:19reinforcements. Lukas, hello.
  32. 1:22>> Yes, hi.
  33. 1:24>> So, Lukas, where do we start? Where
  34. 1:26should we kick things off? Well, I
  35. 1:29would say we start with the technology
  36. 1:31section first. The technology section
  37. 1:33is, for most people, the more difficult
  38. 1:36part. While you have professional
  39. 1:37experience on one hand, your training
  40. 1:39was so long ago that you first have to
  41. 1:41get back into it. And depending on the
  42. 1:44area you work in, you might have more
  43. 1:46to do with bills of materials or
  44. 1:48drawings, while others have less, or
  45. 1:50areas like turning, milling, etc. But I
  46. 1:52would say let's start with the first
  47. 1:54topic, and we'll display the forecast
  48. 1:56for that so you can see it.
  49. 1:58>> Exactly, nicely visible down here. You
  50. 2:01can see the overview there, and we're
  51. 2:03starting with the technology area. What
  52. 2:05is the main topic that's number one
  53. 2:06there, Lukas?
  54. 2:07>> Yes, it might be a bit surprising, but
  55. 2:09as you can see, it's Personnel
  56. 2:11Management and Development.
  57. 2:13>> Personnel Management and Development is
  58. 2:15a big topic that I ask you, please,
  59. 2:17please take a look at, and it's like
  60. 2:19Lukas just said. a lot of, well, I'd
  61. 2:22say, common sense. Um, what you already
  62. 2:25know from ZIP, yes, what you already
  63. 2:27know from ZIP. I'll take a look in
  64. 2:29parallel to see what kind of topics
  65. 2:30come up there. Target agreement
  66. 2:33discussions, personnel management,
  67. 2:35something about customer audits came up
  68. 2:37at some point, employee reviews, how
  69. 2:40can I develop my staff, professional
  70. 2:42development measures, and the topic of
  71. 2:44project groups, university studies
  72. 2:46versus vocational training, was also a
  73. 2:48topic. Yes, return-to-work interviews,
  74. 2:50for instance, when someone has been ill
  75. 2:52for a long time—yes, those are topics
  76. 2:54that you should please, please take a
  77. 2:56very close look at in this area. That
  78. 2:58is a really important topic, especially
  79. 3:00with an eye on the future. You surely
  80. 3:02know one or two companies that have
  81. 3:04been doing exactly the same thing in
  82. 3:06the same way for 30 years. Especially
  83. 3:08in the current times, pay a little bit
  84. 3:10of attention to that as well. A major
  85. 3:12exam topic could be, for example,
  86. 3:14economic efficiency. The question there
  87. 3:16is, of course, how can we continue to
  88. 3:18function economically and lead the
  89. 3:19company forward so that we still exist
  90. 3:21in 10 or 15 years.
  91. 3:22>> Spoiler alert, you will also have this
  92. 3:24topic later in organization—it's
  93. 3:26super, super important. Ranked very,
  94. 3:28very highly. Let yourselves be
  95. 3:30surprised. Definitely take a look at
  96. 3:32that. Okay, the next big block, Lukas,
  97. 3:34is operational cost accounting. What
  98. 3:38are some of the topics that could come
  99. 3:39up there?
  100. 3:40>> First off, everything with numbers,
  101. 3:41whether we have the differentiated
  102. 3:43surcharge calculation. If that doesn't
  103. 3:45ring a bell, that was the calculation
  104. 3:47with the cash sales price and list
  105. 3:48sales price, and you need to know what
  106. 3:50happens from the cash sales price
  107. 3:51onwards. Normally you calculate from
  108. 3:54top to bottom down to the cash sales
  109. 3:56price, and then you need to know how to
  110. 3:58get to the list sales price, because
  111. 4:00the percentages change; so, recall what
  112. 4:02your profit, discount, etc., refers to,
  113. 4:05so that you calculate everything
  114. 4:06correctly. At the same time, we have,
  115. 4:08for example, the contribution margin or
  116. 4:10equivalent unit accounting; so
  117. 4:12ultimately, everything you know from
  118. 4:14the organization area could come up.
  119. 4:16>> Yes, take a look at that. It definitely
  120. 4:19came up in May. The topic before that
  121. 4:24didn't, and actually in the last five
  122. 4:26exams it was always there, except for
  123. 4:28autumn '25, there was a break there,
  124. 4:30otherwise it's basically always on
  125. 4:32there. Pure repetition from the basic
  126. 4:37qualification, yes, operational costs,
  127. 4:40so BWH, sorry, BWH. There are two new
  128. 4:45topics in the area of cost accounting
  129. 4:47that you should take a look at. One
  130. 4:50topic is process cost accounting and
  131. 4:52the other topic is standard cost
  132. 4:54accounting. Please take another look at
  133. 4:57those as well. They come up every now
  134. 4:59and then. Otherwise, all other topics
  135. 5:02are repetitions from the basic
  136. 5:04qualification. Okay, definitely have
  137. 5:07operational cost accounting down.
  138. 5:10Review that once more. Then we already
  139. 5:12have the first two big topics, and now
  140. 5:14we are finally getting technical, right
  141. 5:16, Lukas? Yes, now let's dive into the
  142. 5:18great topic of forces. One could argue,
  143. 5:20of course, that forces actually relate
  144. 5:22to almost every topic. NTG is
  145. 5:24ultimately the predecessor to the
  146. 5:26technical part we have here. The exact
  147. 5:27same goes for any hydraulic systems.
  148. 5:29Pneumatics and hydraulics will come up
  149. 5:31again later, but they are included here
  150. 5:33as well. Various levers and force
  151. 5:35transmissions. I recall a clamping
  152. 5:37element like that again. It was
  153. 5:39hydraulically controlled. You had a
  154. 5:42piston that was moved by hydraulic
  155. 5:43pressure, and this force was
  156. 5:45transferred downwards via a wedge so
  157. 5:47that the clamping element worked. And
  158. 5:49such combination tasks in particular
  159. 5:51are becoming more and more frequent,
  160. 5:53especially in the HQU. And please also
  161. 5:56remember that you need to be able to
  162. 5:57read drawings. How do I read values
  163. 5:59from a parts list and from the drawing?
  164. 6:01>> Yes, very, very important. Yes, you
  165. 6:05have to be able to identify exactly in
  166. 6:07this drawing how and where forces act
  167. 6:09in order to derive where the force is
  168. 6:11actually located. Tip: Make a sketch
  169. 6:15for yourself, a very simplified
  170. 6:17representation. You are allowed to do
  171. 6:20this in the task booklet, yes, you get
  172. 6:22a sheet of paper or several sheets, a
  173. 6:24little booklet with all the tasks in it
  174. 6:26. You are allowed to draw in it,
  175. 6:30scribble in it, and mark things with a
  176. 6:32highlighter. But please do so in a way
  177. 6:34that you can still recognize and see
  178. 6:36the things afterwards, okay? Not to the
  179. 6:39point where it becomes unrecognizable,
  180. 6:41but feel free to make a sketch to
  181. 6:43derive the information from there.
  182. 6:46Force calculation, as Lukas already
  183. 6:48said, is pure repetition from NTG, but
  184. 6:51be careful, the tasks are somewhat more
  185. 6:53extensive, a bit larger than in NTG.
  186. 6:56Yes, so you simply have to perform
  187. 6:58several steps in a row; you just have
  188. 7:01to get used to that, but it is not much
  189. 7:03new. Yes, it is not much new, just the
  190. 7:05whole thing is a bit more extensive.
  191. 7:08Exactly. It looks similar for the next
  192. 7:11block. By the way, there were nearly 21
  193. 7:13points for force calculation in the
  194. 7:16last spring exam in '26, so quite a bit
  195. 7:18. Let's see what it will look like in
  196. 7:21the next exams. The next topic is also
  197. 7:24very substantial: drive heat output,
  198. 7:26Lukas.
  199. 7:27>> Yes, we are in different subject areas
  200. 7:29there, especially from the area of BQTG
  201. 7:32with various heat calculations. You
  202. 7:34know the old formula Q equals M times C
  203. 7:37times Delta T. You will find that again
  204. 7:39, but when you see such a task, it is
  205. 7:41significantly more extensive. Sometimes
  206. 7:43you are throwing numbers around that
  207. 7:45are 12 digits long. So please pay very
  208. 7:47close attention to what you enter into
  209. 7:49your calculator, what you write down,
  210. 7:51and how you continue calculating. It is
  211. 7:54advantageous if you convert the whole
  212. 7:55thing into units that are better suited
  213. 7:57. We could, for example, have 12
  214. 7:59billion joules, or we convert the whole
  215. 8:01thing into kilojoules or megajoules so
  216. 8:03it's just a bit more manageable. Keep
  217. 8:06that in mind, and when we are still in
  218. 8:08drive power, we are in the area of
  219. 8:10turning, milling, and grinding. Drive
  220. 8:12power calculation. How much power do I
  221. 8:15actually have to put into my process,
  222. 8:17for example, to machine a shaft? I want
  223. 8:19to remove 3 mm from a shaft. A small
  224. 8:21hint there: take a look at what AP
  225. 8:23means and how to calculate the whole
  226. 8:25thing. And that is the entire topic of
  227. 8:28drive power in various areas. But
  228. 8:30it’s always the same principle there.
  229. 8:33We always start with the last formula
  230. 8:34and work our way up. When you see the
  231. 8:37formulas in the Europa handbook, you
  232. 8:39will know exactly what I mean. Then you
  233. 8:41work your way up until you have a
  234. 8:43formula you can apply.
  235. 8:44>> Exactly, Lukas, right? You mean page
  236. 8:47365 here? By the way, this here is
  237. 8:50>> Exactly,
  238. 8:51>> this is, by the way, the 50th
  239. 8:53anniversary edition. Also,
  240. 8:54congratulations once again to the
  241. 8:56Europa publishing house. There are now
  242. 8:5850 editions of this reference book.
  243. 9:00This here is the fancy anniversary
  244. 9:02volume, and there you can see on page
  245. 9:04365 up here, um, this method, and you
  246. 9:08basically work your way through from
  247. 9:10the bottom step by step to the top and
  248. 9:13then arrive at your result. Drive heat
  249. 9:17power, what do you need to master here?
  250. 9:20That is thermal engineering and that is
  251. 9:22drive technology, so power, peripheral
  252. 9:24speed, peripheral power—all these
  253. 9:26things that you also know from NTG.
  254. 9:29Thermal engineering: I can remember a
  255. 9:31task where you. For example, you have
  256. 9:34an internal combustion engine and you
  257. 9:36are given a certain power, and now
  258. 9:38instead of the gas tank, a battery was
  259. 9:40installed there, right? You then have
  260. 9:43to convert that. And here, too, it’s
  261. 9:45important, um, this is a special
  262. 9:47feature of the HQ, that you have to
  263. 9:50provide transfer knowledge. Yes, you
  264. 9:53had to read the task very carefully and
  265. 9:55then use a bit of common sense to
  266. 9:57derive certain things, right, like how
  267. 9:59to calculate the power of the batteries
  268. 10:01from the volume. Yes, that is a general
  269. 10:04skill, um, that one must train here. So
  270. 10:08please practice with the old exams to
  271. 10:10master such things. Okay, drive heat
  272. 10:15power definitely appeared again and
  273. 10:17again in the last five exams. I assume
  274. 10:21there will be a task on this again in
  275. 10:23the autumn 26 technology exam. So, next
  276. 10:26process, Lukas. Yes, as you nicely put
  277. 10:29it, we are at manufacturing processes.
  278. 10:31What are manufacturing processes? Of
  279. 10:33course, broadly speaking, the topics
  280. 10:35are forming, primary shaping,
  281. 10:37separating, joining, coating, and
  282. 10:39modifying material properties, and
  283. 10:41under those there are a few processes
  284. 10:43you should know. Turning, milling, and
  285. 10:46grinding are the standard ones, but you
  286. 10:48will encounter a manufacturing process
  287. 10:50in almost every exam that runs through
  288. 10:52the entire test. So, feel free to take
  289. 10:55a look at the old manufacturing
  290. 10:57processes. As I just said, also take a
  291. 10:59look at the new ones so you are
  292. 11:01prepared, because the IHK likes to try
  293. 11:03out something new.
  294. 11:05>> Yes, that’s the keyword like rapid
  295. 11:07prototyping, 3D printing, and things
  296. 11:09like that. Yes, new processes are
  297. 11:11always coming up, which you can also
  298. 11:13find in the reference book from
  299. 11:15Europa-Lehrmittel. One might almost
  300. 11:17think we are advertising for them. No,
  301. 11:19we aren't getting paid for ads, but you
  302. 11:21just find an incredible amount of
  303. 11:23information on this there. As mentioned
  304. 11:25, our clients always receive this
  305. 11:27reference book, and you can actually
  306. 11:29find one or two processes explained
  307. 11:31quite well in there. Otherwise, yes,
  308. 11:34you just have to look at things, as
  309. 11:36Lukas already nicely put it, turning,
  310. 11:38milling, but also those manufacturing
  311. 11:41processes regarding production cells
  312. 11:43and such. What is that? How is the
  313. 11:46whole thing structured? Please take a
  314. 11:47look at all of that. Okay, now we have
  315. 11:50named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 topics. If you have
  316. 11:54these five topics, you are already at
  317. 11:56an average of 74 points. Yes, then you
  318. 11:58have actually easily passed the exam
  319. 12:00with a grade of three. Only if you have
  320. 12:03looked at these five topics: personnel
  321. 12:05management, development, operational
  322. 12:07cost accounting, force calculation,
  323. 12:09drive heat output, and manufacturing
  324. 12:11processes. Um, Lukas, which additional
  325. 12:15topics would you look at now? What
  326. 12:18other tip would you give the client,
  327. 12:20what should one definitely take a look
  328. 12:22at as well?
  329. 12:23>> Basically, you can say that just
  330. 12:25because we are skipping a topic in the
  331. 12:27technical area right now, it doesn't
  332. 12:28mean it isn't still relevant for the
  333. 12:30organizational area. So please feel
  334. 12:32free to compare the Paretos, whether if
  335. 12:34a gap arises there, whether that gap
  336. 12:36might be filled in the organization
  337. 12:38part, for example. But let’s just go
  338. 12:40over it briefly. Planning, control,
  339. 12:42communication is currently more of an
  340. 12:44organizational topic. Can also be
  341. 12:46encountered in technology. What could
  342. 12:47it be, for example? Machine loading
  343. 12:49plans, or very importantly, what you
  344. 12:51should definitely look at again is the
  345. 12:53network diagram, forward and backward
  346. 12:55scheduling. Most people are actually
  347. 12:57overwhelmed when they see that again.
  348. 12:59It's been three months since school,
  349. 13:01and you never looked at it again
  350. 13:02because you thought the topic wasn't
  351. 13:04great, but if you really make an effort
  352. 13:06to understand it, you can score some
  353. 13:08really good points there.
  354. 13:11>> Perfect. Yeah, otherwise, what else do
  355. 13:14we have? Pneumatics, hydraulics.
  356. 13:18>> You should definitely
  357. 13:19>> yeah, you should definitely take
  358. 13:21another look at that as well. Yes, in
  359. 13:23the last exam, something on
  360. 13:24electro-pneumatics even appeared at one
  361. 13:26point. Yeah, so I wouldn't force myself
  362. 13:29to learn that at all costs. It has only
  363. 13:31appeared once in the last 10 to 15
  364. 13:33years. I would see that as secondary,
  365. 13:36but you should at least know the
  366. 13:37individual symbols and the circuits.
  367. 13:40Well, here again: there are a few
  368. 13:42example circuits in the reference book.
  369. 13:45If you are able to explain them, to say
  370. 13:47: "What do the individual elements do?"
  371. 13:49, "What happens when I press this
  372. 13:50button?", "How does the circuit work?",
  373. 13:52if you've mastered that, you're in a
  374. 13:54very, very good position to pick up
  375. 13:56those points. Because when hydraulics
  376. 13:59does come up, like in November '25, for
  377. 14:01example, there were 22 points. That was
  378. 14:04the exam where the electro-pneumatics
  379. 14:06task was included. Otherwise, it was
  380. 14:09quiet for a long, long time, and then
  381. 14:11in the spring of '24 there were usually
  382. 14:14about 8, 14, or 13 points. So I would
  383. 14:17definitely take a look at it. Otherwise
  384. 14:20, what comes up here and there is the
  385. 14:22assembly and disassembly plan. So, you
  386. 14:25should basically be able to roughly
  387. 14:27understand a technical drawing, yes, to
  388. 14:29know what's going on there at all,
  389. 14:31right? As we just said, sometimes with
  390. 14:35the calculations you need to know
  391. 14:37exactly where and when certain forces
  392. 14:39act, and that also helps you very, very
  393. 14:41well with these assembly and
  394. 14:43disassembly plans. Okay, Lukas, shall
  395. 14:47we take a look at organization, right?
  396. 14:50>> Yes. And my dear organization, drumroll
  397. 14:54, what is in first and second place
  398. 14:56there? Although I'd say you can
  399. 14:58actually combine first and second place
  400. 15:00. What is it?
  401. 15:01>> Yes, just like before, personnel
  402. 15:03development and personnel management. A
  403. 15:06surprise, of course.
  404. 15:07>> Exactly. Same topic as just now:
  405. 15:09employee reviews, return-to-work
  406. 15:11interviews, performance assessments,
  407. 15:14development, development opportunities,
  408. 15:16training on the job, near the job, and
  409. 15:18things like that. Job rotation, all
  410. 15:22these things you know from AEVO, please
  411. 15:24go into more detail on them here. It's
  412. 15:28just so important. It appears in every
  413. 15:31exam. Yes, either personnel development
  414. 15:34or personnel management, or even both.
  415. 15:37And you will also need it later for the
  416. 15:38technical interview. Yes, it's heading
  417. 15:40in exactly that direction. So, once
  418. 15:42again, personnel management,
  419. 15:44development, important topic. And then
  420. 15:46Lukas, what do we have next? Yes, then
  421. 15:48we have an organization-specific topic
  422. 15:50again. Overhead surcharge rates. That
  423. 15:53was what I mentioned earlier regarding
  424. 15:55differentiated surcharge calculation.
  425. 15:56Cash sale price, the jump to the list
  426. 15:59sale price. How do you have to proceed
  427. 16:00there? Make sure to review this topic,
  428. 16:02because if you make a mistake there,
  429. 16:04you can imagine that you get one point
  430. 16:06for every line you write. And if you
  431. 16:10make such a massive error, you have the
  432. 16:12problem that the result and the steps
  433. 16:14in between aren't graded. If you look
  434. 16:19here, the chart we displayed again, in
  435. 16:21November '24, there were 33 points for
  436. 16:24such a task. 33 points, that's a third
  437. 16:28of the entire exam. Uh, May '25 it was
  438. 16:3226, and in May '26 it was 12 points. So
  439. 16:36, these tasks really provide a good
  440. 16:38amount of points. When they do come up,
  441. 16:40they really pack a punch. Right, then
  442. 16:43we have the topic of production
  443. 16:45planning. Lukas, what can we understand
  444. 16:48by production planning?
  445. 16:49>> Well, as a supervisor, you first have
  446. 16:51to be clear about something. We have
  447. 16:53resources that we manage. Whether
  448. 16:55that's personnel or machines, it
  449. 16:57doesn't matter for now. We have to make
  450. 16:59sure we utilize our resources to get as
  451. 17:01close to 100%capacity as possible.
  452. 17:03>> Mhm. What comes up very, very often in
  453. 17:06production planning, and listen closely
  454. 17:08to this, folks. It's really mean. These
  455. 17:11are those tasks. For example, if you
  456. 17:15have three orders, four machines, and
  457. 17:17you have to use shortest operation time
  458. 17:20, longest operation time, and so on;
  459. 17:22there are various priority rules. Um,
  460. 17:27and you then have to plan production
  461. 17:29optimally. Yeah, so you have a Gantt
  462. 17:32chart and you have to assign the
  463. 17:34individual machines, follow the
  464. 17:36sequences, and at the end check how it
  465. 17:38works optimally. Quite honestly, the
  466. 17:42only way to solve something like that
  467. 17:44reliably and cleanly in the exam is to
  468. 17:47get a scratch pad, a so-called draft
  469. 17:49paper. Either you get it handed out
  470. 17:53from the start, or you can request it.
  471. 17:57This draft paper, note, is not graded.
  472. 18:00It won't be graded, but here you simply
  473. 18:02have the opportunity to play around and
  474. 18:04experiment, because honestly, the whole
  475. 18:06thing is a lot of trial and error. So,
  476. 18:11try and tinker around a bit, play with
  477. 18:13some Lego, and eventually you’ll have
  478. 18:15a good solution that you should then
  479. 18:17please transfer to the answer sheet,
  480. 18:19because only the answer sheet is
  481. 18:20actually graded. Nevertheless, the
  482. 18:25draft paper must still be submitted,
  483. 18:27but it won't be evaluated. And um, that
  484. 18:31is indeed the only way. Go ahead,
  485. 18:34practice on the draft paper, move
  486. 18:36things around, do a little work, and
  487. 18:38when you’ve found a good solution,
  488. 18:40please transfer it to your answer
  489. 18:42booklet, which you then give to the IHK
  490. 18:44and which is where you get the exam.
  491. 18:46It’s sometimes a bit mean, but a
  492. 18:48blanket solution of "do this, then that
  493. 18:50, then that, then that" doesn't exist
  494. 18:53here. You have to try things out for
  495. 18:55yourself, play around a bit yourself.
  496. 18:56Yeah, that’s the topic of production
  497. 18:58planning. Then comes a block called CIP
  498. 19:01. Lukas, what is meant by CIP?
  499. 19:04>> That’s a very good question, and this
  500. 19:06term should mean something to every one
  501. 19:07of you if you are currently facing the
  502. 19:09main qualification. It is the
  503. 19:11Continuous Improvement Process. What,
  504. 19:13of course, is the Continuous
  505. 19:15Improvement Process? Very importantly,
  506. 19:17we want to constantly develop our
  507. 19:19company further. We don't want to have
  508. 19:21faulty processes or processes that
  509. 19:22aren't economical; rather, we want to
  510. 19:24adjust them bit by bit. Bit by bit
  511. 19:26means, of course, that the whole thing
  512. 19:28is a cycle, always recurring, and
  513. 19:30that’s a very important thing. We do
  514. 19:32the whole thing step by step in small
  515. 19:34increments. What would naturally happen
  516. 19:36if we did it in one big step? We would
  517. 19:38first have to see where the error even
  518. 19:40originates in this range. With small
  519. 19:42steps, we can say exactly that if we
  520. 19:44undo it, we haven't lost much, but we
  521. 19:47can build on it again and identify
  522. 19:49errors more easily. What else naturally
  523. 19:52belongs to this is the PDCA cycle,
  524. 19:54which is also relevant for the
  525. 19:56technical interview, and the 5S method.
  526. 19:59You should know what these 5S stand for
  527. 20:01; it's a really important thing and is
  528. 20:03asked about quite often.
  529. 20:04>> Mhm. Exactly. Otherwise, workplace
  530. 20:07design, right? How can you optimize
  531. 20:09workplaces? How can you optimize
  532. 20:11processes? Examples might come up there
  533. 20:13. Yes, how can you, for example,
  534. 20:15optimize compressed air costs? So,
  535. 20:17generally, think about how existing
  536. 20:20systems can be optimized and improved.
  537. 20:23That is the kind of topic that comes up
  538. 20:25here under CIP. I’d say, is it quite
  539. 20:28doable? You know a lot from your
  540. 20:31everyday work life, from operational
  541. 20:33practice, and then you can answer the
  542. 20:35questions very nicely based on that. So
  543. 20:37, with just that you already have, I
  544. 20:39think, 64 points from these first
  545. 20:41topics mentioned, but there is still
  546. 20:43one topic we have to address that is
  547. 20:45also very, very important, which you
  548. 20:46should please look into. Lukas, what do
  549. 20:49you mean? What is it?
  550. 20:50>> The topic of occupational safety. Yes,
  551. 20:52when you hold a foreman position, it is
  552. 20:54naturally the most important thing that
  553. 20:56every employee who comes to work in the
  554. 20:58morning also goes home healthy again.
  555. 21:00Please make a distinction there. On one
  556. 21:02hand, we have occupational diseases,
  557. 21:03where we ensure that this remains the
  558. 21:05case over 30 years, and on the other
  559. 21:07hand, that nothing happens on any given
  560. 21:09day, that they don't, for example, cut
  561. 21:11themselves with an angle grinder or a
  562. 21:13utility knife. What am I trying to
  563. 21:15touch on here? The necessary PPE, for
  564. 21:17example, risk assessments. Remember,
  565. 21:19who has to deal with occupational
  566. 21:21safety in general? Every employee, some
  567. 21:24a bit more, some a bit less. And that
  568. 21:26is exactly what counts and that is your
  569. 21:28area of responsibility as a foreman.
  570. 21:30>> Exactly. But technical safety equipment
  571. 21:33can also be a topic. Yes, the whole
  572. 21:35topic of work instruction and such, as
  573. 21:38Lukas just nicely said, that definitely
  574. 21:40belongs there. You should definitely
  575. 21:43look at that beforehand. Um, you also
  576. 21:46need it for the technical area,
  577. 21:48questions can come up, and also, as I
  578. 21:50said, in this specialist interview
  579. 21:52later, which will take place at the end
  580. 21:54of the master craftsman training. Okay,
  581. 21:57those are the main topics. Lukas, what
  582. 21:59else would be important? What else
  583. 22:02should someone prepare for? Well, we
  584. 22:04have the next three topics, I would
  585. 22:06summarize them a bit. Cost comparison
  586. 22:08calculation, machine hour rate
  587. 22:09calculation, and capacity versus
  588. 22:11personnel requirements. Especially with
  589. 22:13machine hour rates and capacity versus
  590. 22:14personnel requirements, a cost
  591. 22:16comparison could always take place. Do
  592. 22:17we do it ourselves, or do we outsource
  593. 22:19the order? And let's go through the
  594. 22:22machine hour rate briefly. You have
  595. 22:24your values given quite normally in the
  596. 22:26formula collection. You can just plug
  597. 22:28in the given values from top to bottom
  598. 22:30and then arrive at the machine hour
  599. 22:32rate. There are actually few special
  600. 22:34features, but really familiarize
  601. 22:36yourself with it so that you know
  602. 22:38exactly how to apply it in the event of
  603. 22:40an exam.
  604. 22:40>> Mhm.
  605. 22:41>> Perfect. Exactly. So cost accounting,
  606. 22:44organization, and technology can come
  607. 22:46up in both cases. Please look at it
  608. 22:48beforehand. Um, another topic is
  609. 22:51quality management. Yes, it has come up
  610. 22:54again and again in recent exams, except
  611. 22:56for once in May '25. Otherwise, there
  612. 22:58were always questions about it. Yes,
  613. 23:01how does FMEA work? Um,
  614. 23:03quality-conscious action, how can I
  615. 23:05encourage and develop that in employees
  616. 23:07? That is one such topic. Yes, Lukas,
  617. 23:10what else is an important topic from
  618. 23:12the organizational side in your view?
  619. 23:15>> Well, I would definitely include
  620. 23:16hazardous substances. We can't make a
  621. 23:19classic distinction between technical
  622. 23:20or organizational, but be clear: how do
  623. 23:22you have to handle hazardous substances
  624. 23:24? Are you allowed to have any tanks
  625. 23:26standing in the middle of production?
  626. 23:27Do you need a separate room for that,
  627. 23:29or how must the room be designed? And
  628. 23:31very importantly, what kind of symbol
  629. 23:33has to be on your hazardous substances
  630. 23:35again? Feel free to think about it for
  631. 23:37a moment and write it in the comments.
  632. 23:39Very, very happy to. You'll also find
  633. 23:41it, as I said, you don't need to
  634. 23:43memorize it; it's all in the data book.
  635. 23:46So, in summary, which topics should you
  636. 23:48take a closer look at? Everything
  637. 23:50related to personnel development and
  638. 23:52leadership. Then the topic of cost
  639. 23:56accounting, specifically overhead
  640. 23:58surcharge calculation, then cost
  641. 24:00comparison, machine hour rates, and
  642. 24:03capacity and personnel requirements.
  643. 24:07Those are the main topics you should
  644. 24:09please master. Um, then occupational
  645. 24:14safety, please look at occupational
  646. 24:16safety, the topic of forces, thermal
  647. 24:18and drive power, and also manufacturing
  648. 24:20processes; then you've actually covered
  649. 24:23the most important topics and points
  650. 24:25for the Hako metal sector. Um, let's
  651. 24:31briefly look at the topic of the data
  652. 24:33book. The question always comes up:
  653. 24:35what should I actually use? I know the
  654. 24:37IAK formula collection from the BKU,
  655. 24:39and now I'm working with the data book
  656. 24:42here. Ah, very good, Lukas. Uh, what do
  657. 24:45we actually work with? Lukas, can you
  658. 24:47make a recommendation?
  659. 24:49>> Well, I would basically say, if you are
  660. 24:51working in the organizational area, use
  661. 24:54your IAK formula collection. Definitely
  662. 24:57, when we go into the technical area,
  663. 24:59things get a bit more difficult. You
  664. 25:01have to distinguish: the formula
  665. 25:02collection contains formulas. The data
  666. 25:05book contains formulas, theory, and
  667. 25:08examples. How do I apply all of this
  668. 25:10and what unit do I end up with at the
  669. 25:12end? But I can give you one important
  670. 25:14hack that is also relevant for the Hako
  671. 25:16. If we look at pages 26 and 27 in the
  672. 25:19formula collection, these pages are
  673. 25:21still relevant, especially with all the
  674. 25:24conversions. You have them right there
  675. 25:26and don't have to look for the right
  676. 25:27page in the data book.
  677. 25:29>> That is one of the most important pages
  678. 25:31in the entire IAK formula collection.
  679. 25:33Um, exactly 26, 27. Perfect. So,
  680. 25:37ultimately it's your call, it's a
  681. 25:39matter of preference, yes, how and what
  682. 25:41you work with. Um, the IAK formula
  683. 25:44collection contains most of the
  684. 25:46important formulas, but not all of them
  685. 25:48. The advantage of the IAK formula
  686. 25:50collection is that it is kept very,
  687. 25:52very simple and clear. Personally, I
  688. 25:54think they're actually very, very good.
  689. 25:56Um, very clearly laid out, but just
  690. 25:58very, very little content, right? And
  691. 26:00the data book is much, much more
  692. 26:02comprehensive. You won't be able to get
  693. 26:03by without a data book either. And
  694. 26:06another note, um, do you need just one
  695. 26:08data book or several? We say that,
  696. 26:11theoretically, it is enough if you work
  697. 26:13with one data book. If you think you
  698. 26:15want to get a second or third one,
  699. 26:17which is perfectly okay and legitimate,
  700. 26:19um, please start learning and working
  701. 26:21with the other data books as early as
  702. 26:23possible so that you know exactly where
  703. 26:25to find which contents during the exam,
  704. 26:27okay? So you don't start searching
  705. 26:31during the exam, but instead look
  706. 26:32beforehand where to find things and
  707. 26:34mark them. Lukas, please hold up your
  708. 26:37data book again.
  709. 26:39>> Yeah, sure. Right here. Lukas has put
  710. 26:42nice little tabs on his and probably
  711. 26:44also marked a few things so that you
  712. 26:46can find things faster.
  713. 26:50>> Exactly. And a small addition regarding
  714. 26:52the book. As SE just said, you are
  715. 26:54allowed to take three data books into
  716. 26:57the exam. There is, of course, also the
  717. 26:59law book. It doesn't happen that often
  718. 27:02in the HAK that you need the law book,
  719. 27:04but especially in the area of—what
  720. 27:06comes to mind—occupational safety,
  721. 27:08health protection, product safety or
  722. 27:10product liability law, it could be
  723. 27:12relevant, and you are allowed to take
  724. 27:14that in addition to the three books.
  725. 27:17>> Perfect. We recommend the one from
  726. 27:19Fachwirteverlag, and the one you just
  727. 27:21held up is actually perfect and, yes,
  728. 27:23exactly, that is our recommendation.
  729. 27:26You should already know it from the BQ
  730. 27:28AVO, and you can also use it very well
  731. 27:30for the HQ. So, folks, that was the
  732. 27:33forecast for Autumn 2026 for the metal
  733. 27:36HAK. What could come up? We have given
  734. 27:39you the most important points that, in
  735. 27:41our view, could come up, and we wish
  736. 27:43you a lot of fun with your preparation
  737. 27:45and great success in the exam. Feel
  738. 27:47free to watch our other videos for
  739. 27:49preparation, and we are out now. Thank
  740. 27:51you very much, Lukas, and see you soon.
  741. 27:53Ciao. Ciao.
