AI.22 Create Control Action Plan and Schedule Context Once the implementation Control Actions for each cause of a process issue is approved and if appropriate, an Implementation Leader is assigned, work on the control actions can begin. The analysis and improvement of process performance always creates important additional knowledge that should be recorded in both a secure and easily accessible work management system. Any work orders for the implementation of Control Actions should be created as ‘children’ of the appropriate Analyse work order so that we can easily identify the connection between investigation and consequent actions. Once a Work Order has been created for a Control Action the detailed plan and schedule for the work must be developed. A relatively simple Control Action may be adequately specified, planned and scheduled using a standard work order. However, a complex Control Action with many activities, and/or activities distributed over many weeks or months, will probably require multiple tasks, additional specifications, and project schedules in order to adequately define and control the activities. After the schedule for the Control Action implementation is developed we have;  An estimate of the Control Action benefit (from the impact analysis), and  An estimate of when (and perhaps to what extent for a progressive change) the benefit will be delivered. This information is fed back through the Set Service Strategy and Set Operating Master Schedule processes to allow the impact of the Control Action to be incorporated into the modelling and forecasting of the asset performance. This task is about defining and documenting the planning details and schedule for the Control Actions. Purpose To create the planning details and schedule for a control action. Quantity One set of specification documents (plans and schedules) for the Control Action implementation. One set of forecasts for strategy/schedule changes provided to the Set Service Strategy and Set Operating Master Schedule processes. Quality The detail required in the planning will be determined from the complexity of the Control Action(s). A simple Control Action may be planned by considering a mental checklist of the plan elements and may require minimal documentation prior to commencement. A complex Control Action may
