WA.03 Is the Input Data Complete & Accurate? Context The people working within a business area generally know what is required to have that area functioning sustainably (i.e. dealing responsibly with safety, the environment, employees, communities, governments and asset life), effectively and efficiently, and can recognise when work is required to rectify something that will affect the achievement of these objectives. In order to make the fullest use of all of the potential information that our people can gather, we encourage and require that all personnel initiate a Work Request whenever they identify the need for work. The information supplied with a Work Request is used to ensure that:  It is the Right Work - that is, the work is necessary for the sustainable, effective and efficient functioning of the business area.  We have a good estimate of the Right Time (Required Date) - the time by which the work must be completed before it will have an impact (consequence).  We understand the Impact of not completing the work by the Required Date, so we can make informed decisions when there is contention for any resource necessary to complete approved work.  We understand the Right Way to execute the work, so we can appropriately estimate and prepare the requirements for the work. The above criteria are the basis for the decision to approve a Work Request or not. Purpose To verify the input data required for approval of a Work Request is available. Quantity One decision whether the input data is complete or not. Quality The following data must be validated or completed by the person reviewing a Work Request prior to approval of the request:  The Equipment/Component or Workplace/Location for the work.  Symptom or Outcome Description  The manager accountable for reviewing/approving the Work Request.  Required Date - the time by which the work must be completed before it will have an impact  Impact - the consequence of not completing the work by the Required Date  Originator’s identity.
