How Production Line Operation works in SkillScorer
Score
Each operator in a line is scored on the Production Line Operation skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank operators, compare two side by side, or compare your lines 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 Production Line Operation skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's line.
Production Line Operation scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Production Line Operation scorecard include?

How are operators scored in Production Line Operation?
Every operator is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one line 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.

Production Line Operation starts with these levels (called “Grade” in the app): Trainee, Operator, Senior Operator, Team Leader, Supervisor and Production Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Production Line Operation skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In food manufacturing & processing the app talks about operators, lines and team leaders, and you can change any of those words too.
