AAOM Handbook

the action, allowable tolerance for completion of the action around the trigger parameter, constraints or conditions necessary for completing the action, resources required for the action, and estimated cost of the action. • Work Packaging shall consolidate Production actions into efficiently manageable Work Package (typically those actions that have the same workplace and trigger parameters, use the same resources, and share the same condition and constraints). • The service level specifications for resources shall include the quality, quantity and demand lead time (the interval between when the need for the resources can be identified and the need must be fulfilled) for each resource. All data fields that form part of the Production strategy analysis and specification process, and that are also required for implementation of the strategy in a Work Scheduling System (a WSS - provides automatic triggering of work packages based on specified trigger parameters), shall use the standard codes and definitions from the appropriate WSS. A database shall be used to record the Production strategy analysis outcomes and rationale. The database shall include; • the Production process flowsheet, • the proven performance (Time, Rate, Quality, Efficiency, etc. capability distributions) for the steps of the process, • feasible Production strategies, • selected Production strategies (most cost effective), • action(s) required for Production steps implemented by people, • Trigger Parameter and Completion Tolerance for each Production action implemented by people, • Constraints or Conditions for each Production action implemented by people, • resource requirements for each Production action implemented by people, • Work Scheduling system (WSS) Standard Job reference for the Work Package in which the Production action is implemented, and • service level specification for Production resources. The detailed activities of setting a Production strategy shall conform to the specifications set out in the Set Production Strategy Flowchart and TAs PS.01 to PS.17.
