You define crews from crew types and assign labor and tool
resources to manage the crews.
Crews
A crew consists of labor and assets that are required to
perform work. You use a crew type to build your crew and then assign
the required positions, qualifications, and assets that the crew needs.
Creating crews
A crew record specifies the positions, the qualifications,
and the tools that are required to perform the assigned work of that
crew. You create a crew record to assign these resources to the crew
and schedule the time and shift patterns of the crew.
Assigning crews and labor to work
When you assign a crew or labor to
work orders or job plans, the requirements are matched to the requirements
of the work order.
Reporting crew work hours
You can report the hours that a crew worked, the assets
that it used, and which work order it did. You can change the crew
record if the labors who were originally assigned to the crew did
not do the work. Modifying a crew record to report actuals does not
change the original crew.
