Engineer assignment and resource allocation automation

Purpose

1.1. Automate engineer assignment and resource allocation for aeronautical projects to streamline matching skills, availability, and project demands.
1.2. Ensure rapid allocation of staff to urgent or changing tasks, optimize billable hours, and reduce idle resources.
1.3. Integrate dynamic updates from project timelines, vacation schedules, and project manager requests.
1.4. Maintain adherence to regulatory requirements and complex engineering certifications.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New aeronautical project creation or change in project timeline.
2.2. Employee availability or skills database update.
2.3. Incoming leave requests or approvals.
2.4. Resource shortage or deadline missed alert.
2.5. Project manager manual assignment request.
