Crew Scheduling

Many maintenance organizations and organizations that perform large capital projects prefer to schedule crews for work orders in specific periods rather than to schedule individual labor resources. Schedulers must be able to determine the availability and capacity of a crew to appropriately allocate its resources to specific work order tasks. After scheduling crews to work orders, organizations need to measure and analyze statistics about each crew's compliance with the schedule in order to plan realistically for future periods.

To perform the overall crew scheduling process, users:

• Set up for crew scheduling.

• Plan crew capacity.

• Schedule crews and distribute reports.

• Assign crew and individual technicians to work orders.

• Capture schedule compliance statistics.
