How the skills matrix is built and what it catches, with the reasoning behind each piece.
A lane is the work a role covers, with the skills and levels it requires written down.
Skills are your plant’s list, not a vendor’s taxonomy. Corporate sets a floor; a site can go further.
From "has not started" to "can teach it", shown as quarter-wheel cells the whole crew can read at a glance.
A qualification is granted against something: a certificate, an assessment, a sign-off. The evidence stays attached.
Expiry dates warn before they lapse, not after.
The task only one person can do is named before the resignation letter names it.
Who is close to leaving or retiring, crossed with what only they can do.
How covered the critical skills are, tracked toward the number you set.
Every development plan names the gap or the event that justified it.
A plan completes when the matrix cell changes level, with evidence attached.
Plans in flight, plans stalled, and coverage moving quarter by quarter.
The demo plant has this module switched on, with records already in it.
