Abstract

A mechanic skill managing system includes a first database storing an average operation time for every kind of check/repair, the average operation time being a time required for an average mechanic with an average skill to complete the check/repair, and a second database storing a skill value indicative of skill of a mechanic, both of which are connected to a processor. The processor calculates the skill value of the mechanic based on a difference or a ratio between the average operation time stored in the first database and an actual operation time spent by the mechanic to actually complete the check/repair, and registers the skill value in the second database. Thus, the skill of the mechanic can be grasped accurately and can be applied to various operations.

Claims

1. A mechanic skill managing system comprising:

a first database storing an average operation time for every kind of check/repair, said average operation time being a time required for an average mechanic having an average skill to complete said check/repair;

a second database storing a skill value indicative of skill of a mechanic; and

a processor calculating said skill value of said mechanic based on a difference or a ratio between said average operation time stored in said first database and an actual operation time spent by said mechanic to actually complete said check/repair, and registering said skill value in said second database.

2. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 1, wherein said average operation time stored in said first database is calculated by averaging a plurality of times spent by a plurality of mechanics to actually complete said check/repair, except a peculiar time.

3. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 1, wherein said second database further comprises information indicative of history of training attendances and years of experience, and

said skill value of said mechanic is calculated in said processor based on said difference or said ratio, and said information indicative of said history of training attendances and said years of experience stored in said second database.

4. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 2, wherein said second database further comprises information indicative of history of training attendances and years of experience, and

said skill value of said mechanic is calculated in said processor based on said difference or said ratio, and said information indicative of said history of training attendances and said years of experience stored in said second database.

5. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 1, wherein said processor further determines whether a requested check/repair of a vehicle is acceptable or not, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

6. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 2, wherein said processor further determines whether a requested check/repair of a vehicle is acceptable or not, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

7. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 3, wherein said processor further determines whether a requested check/repair of a vehicle is acceptable or not, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

8. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 4, wherein said processor further determines whether a requested check/repair of a vehicle is acceptable or not, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

9. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 1, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

10. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 2, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

11. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 3, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

12. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 4, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

13. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 5, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

14. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 6, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

15. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 7, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.

16. The mechanic skill managing system according to claim 8, wherein said processor further determines compensation for work of said mechanic, based on said skill value of said mechanic registered in said second database.
