Score
Each operator in a line is scored on the Maintenance Technician 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 Maintenance Technician skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's line.
