Cross-Training Planner

Build a skills matrix, set coverage targets by shift, spot gaps, and auto-suggest mentor → mentee pairs.

Quick start: Add roles and employees → rate skills → set coverage targets → click Compute Coverage & Gaps → review Training Recommendations.
App Version:  v1.0

How it works

Proficiency scale
0 None (needs training)
1 Learning (supervised)
2 Qualified (independent)
3 Expert (teaches others)
Coverage math
For each role, the tool counts how many employees are Qualified+ (level ≥ 2) and compares to your target headcount per shift.
Pairing logic
Mentors: Experts (3), else Qualified (2). Mentees: None (0) or Learning (1). The planner pairs mentors to mentees round-robin and suggests a default cadence.
Assumptions & tips
  • Data is stored in your browser only (localStorage). You can export/import JSON.
  • Use targets to reflect shift demand; the tool highlights OK, Gap 1, or Gap 2+.
  • Refresh recommendations after big changes by clicking Compute Coverage & Gaps.
  • Print to PDF to share the plan with operations or HR.

Setup: Roles & Employees

Examples of roles: Picking, Packing, Palletizing, Shipping, Cycle Count, Rework.

Skills Matrix

Rate proficiency per employee & role. Hover the level label for a reminder of what it means.

Coverage Targets (per shift)

Set how many Qualified+ people you want for each role per shift (≥2).

Coverage & Gaps

Interpretation: OK = you meet or exceed target. Gap 1 = short by 1. Gap 2+ = short by two or more.

Training Recommendations

Mentors are chosen from Expert (3) or Qualified (2). Mentees are None (0) or Learning (1).

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.
