RE.01 Are Specialised Tools, Services & Equipment Available? Context The objective of the work management processes is to deliver the agreed performance targets of a business area by completing the Right Work, at the Right Time, in the Right Way.

The processes that deliver materials, special tools and contracted resources to the workplace for each Task must therefore ensure that all the specified items will be available for the Scheduled Date of each Task. Since the Schedule Date for a Task can move as the preparation of the work package progresses, the resourcing process must continually monitor the Scheduled Date for each Task and ensure that specialised tools, services and equipment and will be available for the current Scheduled Date. Purpose To check that specialised tools, services and equipment will be available for the Scheduled Date for each Task.
