Path: Organization > Repair Centers > Shop

Use the shop level to group technicians who share a similar trade.

Examples of some familiar shops are Carpentry, HVAC, Electrical, Mechanical, Grounds, and Plumbing.

This approach may differ from the way your organization uses the shop concept. Some use shops as a division of responsibility, not as a group of similar trades.

For example: Assume a hospital has two shops—General Maintenance and Plant Engineering. Each shop includes a variety of trades (i.e., plumbers, carpenters, electricians, etc.). This means each hospital shop contains an electrical trade, a carpenter trade, a plumbing trade, etc. instead of trades related specifically to the function of the shop.

Whereas, an electrical shop in a trade-related grouping includes all trades related to electrical work, such as Journeyman Electrician, Apprentice Electrician, and Electrician Helper.

With careful planning, you can modify the setup to meet your needs.
