Knowledge Node Summary

It is necessary to have a copy of the job specification and the constraints that affect the job, available. Constraints will include delivery date, location of the customer eg. distance, any customer set constraints and engineering team constraints. In certain cases, constraints may lead to the need for additional resources. For instance if a job that normally takes 5 days is to be done on 2 days, this would mean additional members of the engineering installation team being made available.

A summary of expert opinion:

The knowledge named 'Assess resources' is considered to be rather important.
In addition, the knowledge is thought to be slightly difficult to replace, it is learned mainly by experience but needs study, and there are 2 people available to deliver this knowledge.
Opinion is that it it requires 3 people to deliver this knowledge, it is partially specialised knowledge, and is intermediately stable knowledge.
The learn time for this node given an understanding of the prerequisites, is about 2 weeks. The estimated learn time for the entire knowledge structure of this node is about 3 months.
