FAQ
What qualifies someone as “Qualified+”?
Anyone with level 2 (Qualified) or 3 (Expert). These people can run the role independently (and Experts can teach).
How often should I update the matrix?
Weekly during ramp-up or changeovers; monthly during steady-state. Always update after audits or certification events.
Can we differentiate certifications vs. practical experience?
Yes—use the note field in your export, or add a second role such as “Packing (Certified)” if you want distinct tracking.
Where is data stored?
Locally in your browser (localStorage). Use Export/Import for backup or sharing.
