Hi Paul,

It is, for sure, part of a bigger scheduling solution. Which entail enhanced scheduling of all kinds of available resources assigned to all kinds of work efforts. This indeed involves knowing the pre-scheduling criteria, like skills and such of workers regarding production runs. As such, the patch to make the (advised/required) skills visible on schema tasks - as provided in the patch file(s) - is a first step. And should be enough given the title and description of this issue.

The filtering/scheduling of workers does not take place on production schema and schema task. But on production run and production run tasks. And, with current manufacturing management solution in place, that is limited to pre-execution. Changes in resource allocation (due to unforeseen circumstances) can't be effected while a production run is being executed. But this is subject of another improvement issue.

Anyway, I have reviewed the patch provided. And my conclusion is that:
* would bring an enhancement to the component vis-a-vis features
* does introduce a low to moderate (non-technical) risk to the project

The risk is regarding adoption. I believe the issue and a patch is part of bigger feature enhancement. To name an example: without the proper demo data, this is just another piece where we let the (potential) adopter figure out how to use it. but that seems to be addresses.

I suggest to wait with committing this patch until the demo data has been provided.

> OFBIZ-5852 enables you to add a Party to a Routing Task (the WorkEffortPartyAssignment entity), to specify a person who is preferred to perform the task.
> If the person is on leave or unavailable, the production manager would have to manually specify a different person.
> It would be better to specify skill or skills required for the Routing Task. Then on each production run, any Party with the right skills could be scheduled to perform the task.
> There are already entities WorkEffortSkillStandard, PartySkill and SkillType  which could be used to enable this.
