How Fabrication & Assembly works in SkillScorer
Score
Each operator in a line is scored on the Fabrication & Assembly 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 Fabrication & Assembly skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's line.
Fabrication & Assembly scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Fabrication & Assembly scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Fabrication & Assembly scorecard covers 12 skills: Cutting and Forming, Welding and Joining, Assembly to Drawing, Fasteners and Torque, Surface Preparation and Finishing, Dimensional Checking, Hand and Power Tool Use, Interpreting Work Orders, Rework and Defect Correction, Productivity, Material Efficiency and Safety Compliance. 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 operators scored in Fabrication & Assembly?
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.
Which levels come with Fabrication & Assembly?
Fabrication & Assembly 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 Fabrication & Assembly skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In manufacturing the app talks about operators, lines and team leaders, and you can change any of those words too.
