How Mobile Plant Operation works in SkillScorer
Score
Each operator in a crew is scored on the Mobile Plant 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 crews 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 Mobile Plant Operation skills need attention. Reports also follow each shift supervisor's crew.
