Employee Scheduling |
The Employee Scheduling tab enables you to specify the types of skills required to perform the task on equipment units in the class. An equipment unit’s class for resources determines which entries on this screen apply to the unit. The Shop Scheduling module considers employee skills a resource required to perform a task. Because the module considers resource availability when it schedules the tasks, it uses the information on this screen to identify and schedule an employee (or crew) who can perform the task.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Equipment class ID
Identifier of the equipment class for resources (assigned to equipment units on the Classes tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen). This field has a list box. The class name displays to the right of the ID.
Equipment classes are defined on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Primary Information screen
Task or standard ID
Identifier of the single repair task, repair group, or PM service to base the standard on. This field has a list box. The following choices are appropriate for employee scheduling:
Any repair group: Repair group number
Any repair task: Complete repair task code
Any PM service: Letter that designates the PM service
Any standard: Valid ID of a standard. (See also metric variant.) Examples:
MPG: Miles per gallon (fuel)
GPH: Gallons per hour (fuel)
MPQ: Miles per quart (oil) (in thousands)
L/100KM: Liters per 100 kilometers (fuel)
L/HR: Liters per hour (fuel, oil)
KM/L: Kilometers per liter (oil) (in thousands)
$TO: Total operating cost (fuel, fluids, miscellaneous)
$TR: Total repair cost
$TP: Total PM cost
The task description displays to the right of the ID.
Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab specify crew requirements and skill types. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are optional.
Crew required
If this field has a check, a crew is required to perform the specified task for a vehicle class. You must also specify how many technicians of each skill type are required to complete the task.
Note: To include an employee as part of a crew, enter a crew name in the Crew assigned to field on the Scheduling tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Employees -> Primary Information screen.
The fields in this screen group enable you to specify the number of technicians and skill types required to perform the task.
