The right person at the right station
Make sure only trained people run each station. Skills, qualifications and training are kept in one place, and the station checks them when someone signs in.
Who is qualified for which station lives in a spreadsheet, qualifications expire unnoticed, and an auditor’s question takes a day to answer.
Built and tested in software, not yet proven on a plant line. Available to pilot plants.

About Skills & Training
What if the server can’t be reached?
The station keeps the last answer for a set window (12 hours by default), so work continues.
Can a supervisor let someone work anyway?
Yes, for one person at one station for a limited time, with a reason. Supervisors cannot override for themselves, and every override is audited.
Does it slow down inspection?
No. The check runs when a person signs in, never per part.
What levels are there?
In training, supervised, qualified and trainer. Each station rule sets the minimum level.
