Work Instructions

Step-by-step procedure defining each of the steps that matter in executing a Task.

Workgroup

An identifier for accountability for an element of a work package. The Workgroup is used in 2 ways; • The first is to identify the overall accountability for a Work Package, that is who is ultimately accountable for the outcomes and cost of the work, and • The second is to identify the accountability for providing resources for the execution of a Task within the Work Package.

Resources (including labour and equipment) used in work execution are assigned to a Workgroup.

A resource cost is calculated for Direct Workgroups. The Workgroup cost rate is used to assign costs to Work Orders.

Delivery Date

Used in the Resourcing process, this refers to the date that the materials or contract services specified on a purchase order will be available to the work team for execution of the work.
