Are there any effective strategies for assigning multiple employees to a task and ensuring that the work order accurately represents each employee's contributions? Share your experiences and advice on managing tasks with a team of employees.
If you are looking to schedule labor for a completed work order, you should utilize the "Schedule Labor" tab within the work order records in Datastream 7i EAM 8.3. However, if you wish to schedule work orders in advance, you will need to create a pre-insert trigger in the database for the r5events table. This will allow you to plan and schedule work orders before they are generated.
One solution is to utilize the Tenant field in your system for a secondary Assignee. By adding your maintenance employees as Tenants, you can easily assign tasks to them. The "Assigned by" field is often overlooked, but it can also be repurposed for another Assignee if needed. To make this change, simply rename the field to better fit its new function.

I have successfully resolved the problem by implementing automatic assignment of equipment to the designated maintenance technician. I utilized the "woschedule" field to assign the specific maintenance tasks to be performed. Furthermore, Crystal was used to generate a detailed report, which is then emailed to each technician listed in the work order table. This streamlined process ensures efficient maintenance operations and accountability among the maintenance team.
In my experience, a project management tool proves invaluable when assigning tasks to multiple team members, and tracking their contributions. Systems like Asana or Trello let you outline the task, break it down into smaller components, assign individual responsibilities, and keep track of progress in real time. Moreover, they give due credit to the individual for their input, and you can find everything documented. Regularly conducting brief progress meetings also helps to ensure that everyone is keeping up and to address any roadblocks promptly. To make things fair, initial assignments should ideally be made based on skillsets, level of expertise, and capacity, but there should also be room for rotation of duties and tasks to keep team morale high.
Absolutely, having a well-outlined and transparent procedure can be very efficient. I've found it helpful to use project management tools like Trello, Asana, or Jira where tasks can be assigned to multiple team members and progress can be tracked. Updates and comments can be made on each task so everyone can see the contributions of others. Weekly meetings also provide a chance for team members to discuss their work and clear any confusion. Recognizing each team member's contributions publicly can also fuel motivation and a healthy sense of competition.
