When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This plan is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this plan covers has occurred, or is about to
- Authorisation is needed before the work can begin
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Daily Management System programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links tier board review and manning plan
Not for
- Tier Board Review, which runs the daily management meeting against a fixed agenda and records what was agreed and by whom.
- Gemba Walk Record, which records a structured walk of the process by a manager, what was observed and what was raised.
- Layered Process Audit, which checks that a small number of critical process steps are being done as specified, by different levels of management on different frequencies.
- Anything outside KnowOps, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
