MODSEL - SELECTIVITY MANAGEMENT IN ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 6.22 Examiner Management Examiner    management    can    be    found    under    the    menu    options    ‘Functions’,    ‘Selectivity Management’,  ‘Examiners’    and  ‘Functions’,   ‘Selectivity   Management’,   ’Chief   Examiners’ respectively. The  first  option  brings  the  user  to  the  list  of  Sections   and  from here there is an option   ‘Select’, which brings a list of examiners linked to this Section. This is the Group1(G1) appraisers list. The second option brings the user to the list of Sections   and  from here there is an option  ‘Select’, which brings a list of Chief Examiners linked to this Section. This is the Group2 (G2) appraisers list, the Chief Appraisers or Higher Level Examiners, and at least the Chief Examiner. No Examiner can be part of both groups at the same time. Examiners from G1 are the ones who are  doing  the  actual  work  of  inspection.  Examiners  from  G2  are  generally  Chief  Examiners  who supervise   the   Examiners   and   endorse   the   responsibility   of   G1   officers.   During   automatic assignment of officers, a G1 and a G2 Examiner will be selected. There  is  no  specific  Examiners  table.  Each  Examiner  name  for  G1  and  G2  must  exist  in  the ASYCUDA++ users login list. From the list of examiners (G1 or G2) of his section a Chief Examiner can activate or suspend an Examiner. A suspended Examiner cannot be selected for inspection of goods. It is not possible to suspend an Examiner if they have declarations allocated to them. An Examiner can be part of several sections. If this is the case, then he can be selected in different sections at the same time. From the list it is possible to see the number of declarations which are currently being verified by any  Examiner  (G1  and  G2)  as  well  as  their  current  workload.  The  workload  will  diminish  when  a declaration is cleared.  If the warning flag in Examiner Management is set to ‘Yes’ then a warning will be displayed on their screen when a declaration is assigned to the Examiner. Automatic   assignment   of   Examiners   can   be   configured   separately   for   import   and   export   in MODSYSCF  ‘Functions’,  ‘System  Parameters’ .    For  details  see  Section  9  of  this  Reference Document. Workload management The assignment of declarations to examiners, not the Chief Examiner, is based on the availability of the Examiner. This means that the system will preferably select an Examiner with a zero workload. Occasionally random selection will override availability. If several officers are available, the one who has been waiting the longest will be chosen. If all the G1 officers are busy, the one whose current workload is lowest will be selected. Declarations are allocated weighting. The default weightings are 10 for each declaration and 5 for each  supplementary  item  after  the  first.  Workload  is  the  sum  of  accumulated  weighting  of  the declarations. These    default    values    can    be    modified    under    the    menu    option    ‘Functions’,    ‘Selectivity management’, ‘Selectivity parameters’, ‘Export’ or ‘Import’.
