This activity is used to add skill requirements to an Object Family/Sub Family. The skill requirements consist of Skills, Certificates and Competencies.
The skill requirements defined on the Object Family will be inherited to models. The skills on the models will be inherited to the Service Object(s) associated with the Model, and subsequently associated with resource demands related to Request Work Tasks, performed on the Service Object. This will ensure that the resources performing the work have the right skills for the task and will help dispatchers when assigning work. The skills will be copied across to the task, and can be modified on the Work Task, by accessing the Resource Demand, Additional Qualifications page.
For Skills it is possible to decide which Demand Types e.g. Person, Tool/Equipment and Crew the skill should apply to. All Demand Types are by default set to Yes. It is possible to add Skill Levels when you define a skill requirement.
The attribute Share with Corequisite is used in scheduling to control whether all resources performing a group of tasks (all starting at the same time) must have the required skills, or if it's enough for just one resource in the group to have them. If set to Yes, the value will be inherited to the Work Task to control scheduling behavior.
You can use skill templates to add multiple skills. Each skill record needs to be unique.
As a result of this activity, skill requirements for the Object Family/Sub Family will be added.
