AAOM Handbook

To cater for the situations where variability in resourcing will be significant in determining the confidence of meeting performance targets for a process, the model must allow a probability distribution to be entered for the parameter. The probability distribution for a performance parameter shall, as a minimum, be defined by; • the values of the minimum, maximum, mean and mode of the distribution, • the 'shape factor' (i.e. spread of the distribution – e.g. standard deviation), • In cases where the variability in resourcing will not be significant in determining the confidence of meeting performance targets the model shall use a mean value only. The following data shall be specified for each irregular omission of an Activity from the Operating Master Schedule; • the Business Structure identifier for the Activity (the identifier shall allow filtering of activities at any level of the structure), • the role accountable for the Activity, and • the occurrences of the Activity that are to be suppressed.

Time
