Questions
Can we plan a plant shutdown in Tarleaks?
Yes, as a project: tasks with dates and links, a Gantt timeline, the critical path, and a saved copy of the plan to compare against after scope changes. A template you build yourself keeps the board columns and labels for the next one.
Can we track the certificates our crews must hold?
Yes. HR keeps each person's professional certificates with issuer, number and expiry date, and a nightly job reminds HR before each one expires. With the Learning app, passing a course you build issues a certificate with its own expiry date.
Can shifts follow a fixed rotation, such as weeks on and weeks off?
Not as a repeating pattern. You put each crew on a shift for the dates of each stint, and the next stint is a new date range. Shifts are a planning record today: the time clock and overtime do not read them.
Not covered yet
- A permit-to-work system for hot work and confined-space entry is not in the product.
- Fixed rotation patterns are not built in; each stint on site is assigned as its own date range.
- Well, reservoir and production data stay outside the product.
