RE.21 Create or Modify Tasks 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. If delivery cannot be expedited, or an alternate supplier found, resources obtained from another plant area, or reassigned from another Task to meet the Schedule Date and/or Required Date for the work, it may be possible to modify the work scope or split the work in order to deliver the most critical outcomes by the Scheduled Date and/or Required Date. Purpose To amend the Task details as required by the modified/split work scope. Quantity One set of modified Task details. Quality All modifications to Tasks must comply with the requirements of Planning. Any potential hazards, and the associated risks, associated with modifying or splitting the work shall be identified and appropriate controls put in place. Time As soon as practical after the decision to modify the work scope. Resources Completion of this task is the accountability of the role nominated on the configured Resourcing flowchart.
