Employees are not allowed to be assigned to Task Cards that do not have Skills associated. For more information refer to the Items Button, Skill Tab of the Engineering - T/C Training manual.

MH (Man Hours) - Signifies the total Man Hours required to complete the work for each Skill on the selected W/O T/C. Each number in this field represents a Skill in the T/C Items which will indicate the amount of hours required to complete the particular Skill. For each Item Skill, the Man Hours required for each Skill are multiplied by the amount of Men Required to complete the Item's task. So if 5 Man Hours are required by 3 workers, the total Man Hours required for that Item Skill is 15 hours (5 Man Hours x 3 Men Required = 15 total MH).

If a Task Card's Items all contain the same Skill, all Man Hours required are added together. If two different Items require the same Skill, the Man Hours required are added together for the same Skill.

If a Task Card's Items contain different skills, the Man Hours required for each skill are listed individually.

Each number in this field represents a Skill in the T/C Items which will indicate the amount of workers required to complete the particular Skill.
