Description

Skills (each at a certain level) are required by job types and are possessed by operatives. The scheduling process matches the skills required by the job type (plus any extra skills set when the job was booked) with the skills which each operative has, to make sure that a job is not given to an operative who does not have the skills to do it at or above the required level.
