An absence on Sunday night
The list of who is qualified and rested for that post comes up before the shift starts.

The problem The shift starts with posts nobody on the floor is qualified to run.

Allocation board
What it does
Every post with someone qualified to run it.
Shift covered with qualified operators, a skills matrix and automatic allocation.
- Always up-to-date skills matrix
- Automatic allocation by skill and shift
- Shift coverage with no qualification gaps

Skills matrix
How it works
From the data that comes in to the decision that goes out.
-
1
Records feed the skills matrix
Operators, qualifications, training and validity build one matrix instead of many spreadsheets.
-
2
Posts say what they require
Each position on the line declares the qualification it needs, so coverage means something.
-
3
Allocation is proposed
Skill, shift, rotation and rest rules produce an allocation that can actually be run.
-
4
The gap shows before the shift starts
A post without a qualified operator appears in advance, with who can cover it.
Requirements
What it takes to go live.
Data it needs
Operator records
This is the hard requirement. Without it, the capability has nothing to read.
What the plant needs
- Operator records, with their qualifications.
- What each post requires to be run.
- Shift calendar and rotation rules.
- Training validity, so an expired qualification does not pass as valid.
Where it acts in the plant
The step of the operation this capability holds.
What you get
What becomes possible.
- The shift opens knowing who covers each post, and who is left on the bench.
- An expired qualification stops being discovered in an audit.
- Training is decided by the gap the matrix shows, not by impression.
- Covering an absence stops depending on one supervisor's memory.
Examples of use
On the floor, it looks like this.
A qualification about to expire
The alert comes before the audit, and before the operator is allocated to the post again.
A new line needs six qualified people
The matrix shows who is close, and what training closes the gap.
Benefits by role
What each side of the operation gets.
Operation and shift supervision
Sees the uncovered post before the shift starts, and who can take it without breaking a rest rule.
Quality and process
Every critical post run by someone with a valid qualification on record, with the history an audit asks for.
Industrial management
The training plan and the roster come from the same base, with the qualification gap visible line by line.
Integrations
It does not work alone.
Every capability reads from and feeds the others. What this one exchanges inside the operation:
PLAN
Plan production
A line with nobody qualified is not really available. Coverage corrects the capacity the plan trusts.
Open capability
OEE
Efficiency and losses
Coverage and experience explain part of the difference between shifts on the same line.
Open capability
QCP
Quality and deviations
Who signed the check is the same record as who was qualified for that post at that hour.
