AAOM Handbook

Quality

A resource service level specification shall include; • the type of resource(s) required (including all important quality parameters) , • how many resources are required, • how often resources will be required, • how much lead time there will be between recognising the need and the required fulfilment of the need, and • for re-useable resources (such as labour and equipment) the duration of the need. Where the data for a resource service level parameter is developed for a task assignment in the process of Setting the Production Strategy, that data shall be used in the service level specification.

Where resources are used in service work packages that have different service level requirements, each set of specifications shall be recorded.

Time

The Production Strategy shall be specified during establishment of a process.

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.

Resources

Specification of Production Strategy is the accountability of the role identified in the configured flowchart.
