AAOM Handbook

• Activities that require a constrained resource (e.g. a workplace, specialised equipment or specialised skills) and that occur together in the schedule. The criteria for potential synergies and conflicts may be applied as filters to the Operating Master Schedule to produce a report listing all of the potential opportunities for optimisation. Where Activities based on an Operate to Failure (OTF) strategy are identified as potential synergies and conflicts you cannot move them in the schedule as they will happen when they happen. The potential variability in their ultimate impact is better dealt with in specifying the probability distribution for the impact, i.e. depending on what else is happening when the event occurs its impact may be distributed between zero and the maximum possible.
