Creating crew lists
You create a list of crews so that you can view the resources that are assigned to crews. You can then make daily adjustments as necessary. Crew lists can be updated or deleted only by the user who created them.
Procedure
- In the Graphical Crew Management application, in the Crew List tab, create a new crew list.
- Enter a name for the crew list and specify calendar and shift information for when the crew is needed. The labor and crew resources that work during those shifts are shown in the Gantt view.
- Enter the start date that you want to assign crew requirements on. If you do not enter a date, the graphical view shows today's date.
- In the queries table windows, create queries to define the crew and resource information that you want to see. The available labor and asset resources that match the crew requirements show in the resource table in the graphical view.
- Save the crew list.
Results
On the Assignments tab, you can see the list of resources by type (labor/craft and tool type/asset). You can assign labor resources and assets to crews in the Crew View tab or in the Crews application. Changes that are made in both places appear when you refresh the graphical view.
On the Crew View tab, crews that have all crew requirements met are green. Crews that have outstanding assignments are orange. Crews with assigned labor and assets that do not meet all requirements or qualifications for the crew are yellow. For example, your work requires a first class mechanic, and you assigned a second class mechanic. If the crew record in the crew requirements chart is yellow, a crew qualification was not met. For example, the crew is required to have one member with CPR training and no one assigned to the crew does. You can right-click on the crew in the crew requirements table and select Crew Assignment Status to determine the problem.
