How Textile Production works in SkillScorer
Score
Each team member in a studio is scored on the Textile Production skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank team members, compare two side by side, or compare your studios against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Textile Production skills need attention. Reports also follow each head of department's studio.
Textile Production scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Textile Production scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Textile Production scorecard covers 12 skills: Fibre and Yarn Knowledge, Weaving and Knitting Operation, Dyeing and Colour Matching, Printing and Finishing Processes, Fabric Testing, Machine Maintenance, Defect Identification, Chemical and Effluent Safety, Production Planning, Sustainable Practices, Documentation and Teamwork on the Floor. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are team members scored in Textile Production?
Every team member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one studio and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Textile Production?
Textile Production starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Intern, Assistant, Designer, Senior Designer, Head of Department and Creative Director. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Textile Production skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In fashion & textiles the app talks about team members, studios and head of departments, and you can change any of those words too.
