RE.09 Specify Movement of Resources to Workplace 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. Every work package has a distinct window that defines the right time for completion. This window is bounded by the earliest date that the requirements for completion of the first elements of the work can be assembled, and by the date at which an unacceptable outcome is likely to result if all of the work has not been completed. The objective of the scheduling process is to allocate the resources necessary to complete each Task of the work package within this time window. 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. The materials, special tools and equipment and contract resources for each task may be assembled or mobilised from different locations. The procedure for moving items from this location to the workplace, and the date(s) on which these movements must occur in order to be ready for the Scheduled Date, will depend on;  the nature of the items,  where the items will be assembled and staged, or where contract resources will be mobilised from,  the workplace to which the items must be moved,  the means/resources available to make the movement,  the route that the movement must take. The resourcing process must specify how and when these movements should occur. Purpose To specify the movement of each of the resources for a Task to the workplace. Quantity One method/procedure for each resource movement for a Task. One date/schedule for each stage of the movement for each resource for a Task. One set of resources assigned to each movement.
