Main responsible engineer
Most field engineers to whom jobs are assigned will be unaware whether a job is based on 1:1 planning or 1:n planning. To them it is just a job that needs to be completed.
* 
Persons to whom a Key work assignment is allocated need to be informed/ notified by the back-office or planner that they are the 'main responsible' person for the status flow and completion of the order.
An order can have multiple key work assignments. For example, if you have a team of people working on an order over multiple days, it is logical to have a key work assignment for each day of work.
A main responsible engineer will be in charge of:
Editing the planned materials, if required.
Confirming the receipt of materials.
Returning materials to the store that were not used.
Filling in questionnaires that are required at the start or at the end of the work.
Acquiring the customer's sign-off.
Completing the job that is linked to the key work assignment and - as a result - technically completing the order.
