Certification requirements indicate a baseline level of knowledge but may not cover all practical skills or reflect the current specific needs of the service center, nor do they guarantee ongoing competency.

Comparing required staff competencies with the current skills inventory directly assesses whether the existing staff possesses the necessary abilities to perform their roles effectively, thus identifying any competency gaps that contribute to performance issues like service delays.
