WE.13 Will the Task Specifications be Met? Context

The primary objectives when executing a Task are to ensure that the work is completed when scheduled, that all required outcomes, specifications and tolerances are achieved in the allocated time, and that the sustainability (i.e. dealing responsibly with safety, the environment, employees, communities, governments and asset life) expectations of the Company are met. In order to consistently meet these objectives the person assigned the Task must, throughout its execution, maintain a check on both the rate of progress of the work and on the achievement of the work outcomes. As soon as it becomes apparent that the person assigned the Task cannot meet the outcomes, or completion time, they should escalate the issue. This will create the opportunity for support to be provided in time to meet all of the task objectives. Purpose To check that the progress of the work is consistent with the expected outcomes and completion time. Quantity One decision whether work progress is consistent with meeting the expected outcomes and completion time. One notification to the person who assigned the Task if the decision is made that any work outcome, or the completion time, will not be met. Quality In making the decision, consider the following;  the work outcomes and specifications set out in the Task.  the completion time set out in the Task.  the time required to complete the remaining work on the Task, as well as the time required to complete any additional work that has been identified. Having considered the above, make the following judgement:  less than 80% sure (not reasonably sure) you will meet outcomes, escalate, or  greater than 80% sure (reasonably sure) you will meet outcomes, continue with work. Time This task shall be performed in time to meet the agreed outcomes and completion time for the assigned Task.
