RE.10 Move Resources to Work Location 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 date on which these must commence movement to the workplace, in order to be ready for the Scheduled Date, will depend on where the items will be assembled and staged, or where contract resources will be mobilised from. The resourcing process must specify when these movements should occur and must at these dates ensure that each resource is moved to the workplace. Purpose To move all resources required for a Task to the workplace in time for the Scheduled Date. Quantity The movement of all Task resources from their assembly, staging or mobilisation point to the workplace. Quality All movements shall be completed to have the Task resources at the workplace for the Scheduled Date/Time of the Task. The task shall consider the potential hazards in the movement of resources, and management of the associated risks. Time This task shall be performed at the specified time for movement of each resource.
