Hi all

We are looking for a solution within IFS to plan and schedule our crew resources in the vessels. I know the dispatch console in IFS has this planning capability. However, we are looking for something more related to marine certificate availability / validity. Has anyone developed something similar in IFS? I would appreciate very much your suggestions. 

In my previous organization we used a tool called On-board Tracker [OBT] but the requirement is to find something within IFS.

Thanks,
Asela

Did you look at IFS Cloud - Scheduling demystified (24R2) | IFS Community, chapters on crew management (staff a crew with leader and members) and resource requirements (skill required in the respective crews)?

Hi ​@Alexander Heinze 

No I hadn't explored the 24R2 capabilities yet. Thanks for sharing it. Do you know if the recently released 25R1 also has enhancements in this area? I should check the later IFS versions after ours, 24R1. 

 

I am mainly looking for a way to plan marine resources based on the marine certification availability. I know that certificates and the crew planning are available in IFS and am hoping to figure out a way to connect these two. 

Thanks,
Asela

No enhancements in 25R1 for this particular area.
