This section discusses:

  • Resource groups.

  • Resource craft assignments.

  • Resource shop assignments

  • Resource eligibility status changes.

  • Resource profile maintenance.

Resource Groups

Resource groups are collections of resources defined by supervisor ID or shop ID in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management. You can select one or more supervisors or one or more shops to include in a resource group. The pool of resources reporting to any of a resource group's selected supervisors or assigned to any of the resource group's selected shops are included in the appropriate resource group. When you schedule a work order task, you can select one or more rows in the labor schedule, select a resource group, and then click the Recommend Labor button to run the Match Engine to recommend a list of resources in the resource group that match the work order task requirements. If you do not select a resource group to limit your search, the system searches through all of the resources set up in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management.

When you create a resource group based on one or more shops and select a Resource Group and the Recommend Tools button in the Tool Schedules grid for a work order task, the Match Engine considers only the tools assigned to the shop. If you do not select a resource group, the Match Engine searches through all of the assets identified as tools in the asset repository that fall under a specified asset classification.

Resource Craft Assignments

You can assign multiple resources to a craft. You can search for the resources that you want to assign to the craft by identifying one or more supervisors and searching for all resources associated with the selected supervisors. When you click the Click to populate resources button, the resources associated with the selected supervisors are listed. You can then delete the resources that you do not want to assign to the craft. Once you assign a resource to a craft, the craft is listed for the resource in the resource's profile (Manage Profiles). When you add a craft in the Craft page and save the page, you can indicate whether you want to copy accomplishments and competencies for this craft from the craft's qualification profile for non-HCM employees. Competencies and accomplishments are already added in PeopleSoft HCM for employees who are set up in the PeopleSoft HCM database.

Resource Shop Assignments

You can assign multiple resources to a shop. Using the Assign Resources to Shop (WM_SHOP_ASSIGNMENT) component, you can search for the resources that you want to assign to the shop by identifying one or more supervisors and searching for all resources associated with the selected supervisors. When you click the Populate Resources button, the resources associated with the selected supervisors are listed. You can then delete the resources that you do not want to assign to the shop. Once you assign a resource to a shop, the shop is listed for the resource in the resource's profile (Manage Profiles).

Resource Eligibility Status Changes

You can change the eligibility of a resource from active to inactive and vice versa. You can also add rows to indicate future eligibility effective dates for a resource. If you change a resource to ineligible at a future date, this does not prevent you from scheduling the resource before the effective date for an assignment that begins or continues after the effective date. However, you can no longer assign the resource on or after the date that the resource becomes ineligible and the resource is not included in Resource Matching. You can continue to access and update the ineligible resource's profile.

A user cannot change the status of a Maintenance Management resource to ineligible during a time period when work order assignments exist for the resource in Maintenance Management.

For example, resource A is assigned to a Maintenance Management work order task from July 1 to July 31. If a user accesses the Maintenance Management Maintain Resource Eligibility component and attempts to make the resource ineligible for assignment from July 10 to August 10. The system will prevent the user from changing the eligibility status of the resource and issues the following error message, "This resource cannot be made ineligible during this time frame. There are one or more active assignments scheduled during the dates specified for the resource's ineligibility period. Please edit these assignments before setting the resource to ineligible."

Important! The assignments for a resource, if you are using the PeopleSoft HRMS employee source database, are automatically canceled when an employee's status changes in PeopleSoft HRMS from active to any other status.

Resource Profile Maintenance

The resource profile is a dynamic record designed for periodic review and update by the resource and the resource's managers to reflect changes in the resources qualifications. You view or modify various parts of a resource's profile when you establish and maintain the resource.

You can add crafts to a resource's profile in the Manage Profile - Craft page. You add a craft to an employee, who is not set up in the PeopleSoft HCM database, you can copy the qualification profile associated with the craft to the non-HCM employee. PeopleSoft HCM employee qualifications are updated in the PeopleSoft HCM system.

When you assign a resource to more than one shop with overlapping shifts on the PeopleSoft Maintenance Management, Labor Administration, Manage Profiles page, you will receive the following message:

Warning — Business Unit US001, Shop ID SHOP A, Shift L1 overlaps with the previous shift (US001, SHOP B, L1) for 2006- 08 - 09

You are about to assign a resource to work on two different shifts that overlap one another.

Since this is a warning message, you can select OK and proceed with the assignment.

For example, a painter, Jerome Kern, is assigned to Business Unit US001 and Shop A. The painter's assigned shift is L1 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m) Monday to Friday. However, the organization needs Jerome Kern to perform work in any one of 5 Maintenance Shops (SHOP A, SHOP B, L-SHOP1, L-SHOP2, L-SHOP3) during the 8 a.m. – 4 p.m time period. To solve this problem, you can select the Labor Administration, Manage Profiles component, select Jerome Kern, and select the Shop tab and add the following rows:

Business Unit

Shop

Shift

US001

SHOP A

L1

US001

SHOP B

L1

US001

SHOP-L1

L1

US001

SHOP-L2

L1

US001

SHOP-l-3

L1

When you click the Save button, the following message appears:

If you enter all the rows at once and Save the page, the system compares two rows at a time to each other. For example, SHOP A/L1 is compared to SHOP B/L1, then SHOP A/L1 is compared to SHOP-L1/L1, then SHOP A/L1 is compared to SHOP-L2/L1 and so on. You must click the OK button for each comparison before you can return to the menu. You may have to click the OK button several times if there are multiple shops. Manage: Profiles – Shop page
