Employee Competency Matrix
Target Audience: VP of Operations, Director of Human Resources (HR), Plant Manager
Core Value: Optimized Labor Allocation & Reduced Operational Rework
The Problem: The "Unqualified Operator Tax"
Throughput suffered, and rework costs spiked because job scheduling systems allocated complex tasks to operators who lacked the current certification or necessary proficiency.
The Solution: Real-Time Skill-to-Task Enforcement
I architected the Dynamic Skill Gate, which uses a validation layer linking HR/Training data (from the Knowledge Hub) directly to the Production Pulse system to enforce skill requirements in real-time.
The Commercial ROI
P&L Hook: Optimized Labor Allocation by matching individual skills to job complexity, maximizing labor efficiency and throughput.
Primary Metric: Reduced costly rework and material waste instances directly attributable to operator errors and proficiency gaps.
Value Proposition: Prevented unqualified staff from executing high-risk tasks, minimizing safety incidents and potential damage to high-value assets.
Technical Architecture
Logic: Implemented the Dynamic Skill Gate validation layer within the Production Pulse job initiation flow.
Integrity: Enforced cross-functional data validation, requiring synchronization between the Knowledge Hub (skill status) and the Production Pulse system (job requirements).
Enforcement: Utilized a Real-Time API call validation checking JobRequirementID against OperatorSkillID on every attempted job scan.
