Assigning resources to activities based on multiple perameters

We have multiple activities (tests) which need to be planned using a number of test properties (vehicles) to maximise utilisation and shorten total test time.

The vehicles are allocated against the tests based on a number of perameters. - Currently this is done (badly) in peoples heads.

eg Test A requires V8 engine and AWD

Test B requires any engine RWD

Test C requires any engine and AWD

Vehicle 1 is a V8 RWD, Vehicle 2 is a V6 AWD.

Test A and C can use Vehicle 2, Test B can use vehicle 1 

 

We are just starting to use P6 and I wondered if I can use it to automatically allocate the tests (activities) against the available test properties (resources) based on the resource properties.
