Check Skills Availability for a Work Request

This document explains how to ensure that an employee with the required skill to perform a job is available when the job is planned to start.

Use this instruction when you need to know that the required skill is available before you release the work request.

Outcome

You will know whether an employee with the required skill is available to perform the job when it is planned to start.

This information gives you the opportunity to reschedule the job if the appropriate employee is not available, or to allocate another employee to the job.

Before you start

The starting conditions listed in Performing Maintenance Availability Checks for Work Order Requests must be met.
The operation in 'Work Request. Open Line' (MOS171) must have work or time estimated against it.
The operation must have a skill (operation element type 1 or 2) linked to it with the employee number entered for it in 'Work Request Operation. Open Op Element' (MOS172).
The employee allocation parameters must be defined in (MOS992).

Follow these steps

Check load/skill

Start 'Load. Display Gantt Chart/Employee' (CPS155/B).
Select sorting order 5 or 6. Sorting order 5 displays qualification.

When a skill is entered, the screen will display work orders and work order requests with the selected skill and the employee allocated to the job. Blocks will indicate employee load.

Sorting order 6 displays load per employee.

The screen will display work orders and work order requests allocated to the employee. The details that are displayed include work order or work order request number, operation number, start date and time, status etc. Blocks will indicate employee load.
