With work instructions you record per workstation how the work is done. With the skills matrix you record who may do what. Managing work instructions is included in every plan; the tablet at the table where the factory reads them is part of the Productie (Production) add-on (€99 per month per production line). The skills matrix is part of capacity planning.
Creating a work instruction
- Go to Productie → Werkinstructies (Production → Work instructions) and click Nieuwe werkinstructie (New work instruction).
- Fill in the Titel (Title) and optionally the Omschrijving (Description).
- Choose the Productietafels (Production tables) the instruction belongs to. Optionally also choose Planningsactiviteiten (Planning activities) from the staff planning.
- Use Stap toevoegen (Add step) to add the steps in the order of the work. Per step fill in Wat moet er gebeuren (What needs to happen) and under Foto of video (Photo or video) choose: Alleen tekst (Text only), Foto (Photo), Video uploaden (Upload video) or Videolink (Video link).
By default an admin can manage work instructions.
Versions and who has read it
If you change the title, description or steps, the instruction gets a new version and is marked as not read for everyone again. Only changing the tables or activities, or activating or deactivating the instruction, does not create a new version. The list shows the Versie (Version) of each instruction and how many employees read the current version. With Gelezen door (Read by) you see who read which version and when.
On the tablet at the table
When an element is open on a table in the factory, the header shows the Werkinstructie (Work instruction) button with a counter of what has not been read yet. You only see the active instructions of that table. A video link opens in a new tab. Click Gelezen (Read) for each instruction. The workshop role can do that too. If the table has no instructions, the button is not shown.
The skills matrix
Go to Capaciteit → Vaardigheden (Capacity → Skills). For each employee you see a level per skill: Geen (None), In opleiding (In training), Zelfstandig (Independent) or Mag opleiden (May train others). You can view it with the right to manage employees or the staff planning. You can change it with the right to manage employees.
- Click Vaardigheid toevoegen (Add skill). Fill in the Naam (Name), for example Forklift or Saw line, and optionally an Omschrijving (Description).
- Under Nodig aan productietafels (Required at production tables) and Nodig voor planningsactiviteiten (Required for planning activities), choose where the skill is needed.
- Click a cell in the matrix. Each click moves the level one step further.
- With + bewijs (+ evidence) you link a certificate from the employee's personnel file.
Warnings in the planning
When you link employees to an element on a table in the Productieplanning (Production planning), or plan someone for an activity in the Medewerkersplanning (Staff planning), Beamcore checks the skills. If a required skill is missing, someone is still in training or the linked certificate has expired, you get a warning. Independent and May train others count as present. The warning does not block anything.
