AAOM Handbook

Quality

The criteria to be used are that:

• If the Production step is both completed and controlled by machinery then all requirements for doing so must be incorporated in an automatic control system. • If the mechanical effort for the process step is supplied by machinery but people are required to direct and or control the machinery, then the Production step involves a Work Package that is executed by people. The Work Package must be specified, and controlled through a work management system. • If the mechanical effort for the Production step, and the control of that effort, is provided by people, then the Production step is a Work Package that is executed by people. The Work Package must be specified, and controlled through a work management system. • If the Production step appears to have elements of control by both machinery and people then the step can be split in two, one step controlled by machine and one step controlled by people.

Review and validation of Production Strategy shall be based on either a change of targets driven by changing business expectations or the benefit ranking of improvement opportunities identified through analysis of performance.
