    RE: Resource Capacity

    Think it depends on how your business operates.

    There are 3 ways of scheduling

    1. Manual - Just eyeballing Work Orders and placing them on the schedule board
    2. Semi Manual - Schedule Assistant where Field Service will find available resources which fit the Work Order
    3. Automated - RSO (Resource Schedule  Optimisation) where the system will schedule all your work orders for you.

    Probably best to look to see if your Resources to Territories are set up correctly and that your process of reducing the travel time between jobs for the Field Resource is given some thought. I would say the Schedule Assistant is probably best to manage capacity as your Dispatchers can see what job the Resource is currently at and what job is quickest to get to next.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have the below scenario.

    Some resources can do the work order in 1.5 hours. However other can do it in one hour.

    How can I setup the system to adapt with each resource skills level.

    Maybe you can add more incident types?

    Such as for example:

        Incident Type - Repair (Very Fast)

               Characteristic - Very Fast Repair

        Incident Type - Repair (Fast)

               Characteristic - Fast Repair

    Its kind of crude but it could do the job?
