Define the Scope of Work

Contracts made in relation to customized or bespoke computer systems should make reference to the Validation Plan, any Supplier Quality Plans, and, where appropriate, the System Specification to define the scope of work, goods, and services. 

A lot of effort is invested at the beginning of the project in defining the scope of work and expectations for transfer completion. This is best covered in a document defining the scope and goal of the method transfer, the regulatory standard to be applied (e.g., following GLP or not), experimental outline, acceptance criteria for assay performance, and transfer or development summary or report. It is useful to spend some time on such a protocol to reduce the risk of misunderstanding and to assure that expectations from both sides match. 

This Handbook is comprised of two Volumes. Volume 1 contains the core material. Chapter 1 presents a discussion of how chemical management fits into ISM. The ISM Core Functions (Define the Scope of Work, Analyze the Hazards, Develop and Implement Hazard Controls, Perform Work within Controls, and Provide Feedback and Continuous Improvement) provide the structure needed to ensure all work activity is undertaken safely. 

Integrated Safety Management Core Functions—The core safety management functions for DOE P 450.4, Safety Management System Policy, which are to (1) define the scope of work (2) analyze the hazards (3) develop and implement hazard controls (4) perform work within controls and (5) provide feedback and continuous improvement. These functions are also identified in DEAR 48 CFR 970.5204-2(c). 

As with any project, it is vital that the scope of work be properly defined, otherwise the project team and the final customers will be in constant confusion, and misunderstandings will abound. The responsibihty for defining the scope of work hes primarily with the chent—in this case, the operations or maintenance department that will be using the procedures once they are written and published. 

Project management skills— particularly the ability to keep to define the scope of work, stay on schedule, and keep within a budget. 

The standard must allow creating a Reactions Package software component that only contains information relevant for the reaction phenomena considered. Thus, an equilibrium reaction or a set of equilibrium reactions grouped in a Reactions Package does not necessarily need to know how to calculate the physical properties of the mixture upon which the reaction will take place. It follows that a Reactions Package has to be able to interact with a Property Package that wilt provide it with the necessary physical properties if required. That defines the scope of work. 

BP I Define the scope of work BP2 Define the project life cycle BP3 Evaluate feasibility of the project BP4 Determine and maintain estimates for project attributes BP5 Define project activities and tasks BP6 Define needs for experience, knowledge and skills BP7 Define project schedule BPS Identify and monitor project interfaces BP9 Allocate responsibilities BPIO Establish project plan. 

Define the scope of work. The reverse engineering process begins with defining the project scope and identifying the key requirements. Once defined, appropriate methods will be utilized to obtain the relevant data of the part, such as the part geometry. 

Lump sum contracts tend to be favoured by companies awarding work (if the scope of work can be well defined) as they provide a clear incentive for the contractor to complete a project on time and within an agreed price. 

In the immediate term, however, your plan may be most effective if you focus on the specific needs and priorities you have identified in the course of your work so far. If you clearly define the scope of your plan, and it directly addresses specific needs, your efforts will be far more successful than if you try to do all things for all people. Moreover, focusing on priority needs will almost certainly provide a sound basis for expansion or adaptation for example, procedures developed to address training for operators using high-hazaid materials at one facility (see Rextown vs. Effingham in Figure 5-2) should be readily adaptable to lower-hazard substances at another facility— far more so than the other way around. 

The first phase is a clear definition of the scope of work that is to be performed during the shutdown or maintenance outage. This definition must be more than a macro-level listing of the major tasks that are to be performed. Instead, each of these major or macro-level tasks must be fully defined. The purpose of this procedure is to provide an effective method of planning, material control, and follow-up of repetitive, non-repetitive, and capital shutdown work. 

The fundamental requirement of an efffective outage plan is well-defined work orders for each task that must be performed during the available time interval. Too many plants fail to fully plan each of the tasks that are to be performed. Instead, they rely on a master schedule that defines the sequence of events that must occur in order to complete all of the tasks included in the scope of work. 

Testing at stress condition is performed to determine the ability of the system to remain stable at all times during operational conditions defined as continuity. Create stress conditions to determine the span of control for an individual system or rooms. Execute temperature, particle counting, etc. Verify obtained results with adequate operational conditions and determine whether the system is acceptable if it is not, then alert systems are set to report the unacceptable condition. Determine the ability of the system to recover after an unacceptable limit has been reached. Stress testing and alert systems for hardware and software are an important part of the scope of work for the validation team. 

RESOLVED, that the NSNA encourage its constituents to work collaboratively with their local and state disaster response and healthcare agencies to develop a taskforce that will define the scope of practice of student nurses in disaster settings and develop a protocol for coordinating the collection and distribution of donations to be sent to disaster areas and be it further... 

A brief system description covering the system s history (whether it is an entirely new system, a replacement system, or an existing system) and its business purpose is necessary. GxP regulatory authorities expect replacement systems to be as least as reliable as their predecessor manual or automatic system. The aim is to provide a management overview of the project boundaries, defining what is and what is not included within the scope of work. The system description may be supplemented later by a separate System Overview document, especially for larger systems (see Chapter 8). 

This chapter is concerned with technologies that allow carbon materials to be used in environmental applications. In attempting to define the scope of this work, the authors have adopted a relatively broad interpretation and have considered where carbon materials can play a role both directly and indirectly in protecting and improving the quality of the environment and human health. 

A standard work defining the scope of systems theory... 

At what level a kinetic study will be conducted will then be dictated by the purpose of the work and the state of development of the subject. It is very important, in each case, to define the scope of the kinetic investigation and thus also its proper methodology and limitations. 

Once the design is developed, the part is disclosed to the SQS. This kicks off a process lasting two to three years to ensure that the redesigned parts are available to the assembly line and that they meet quality standards. The SQS, the engineer, and the supplier form a product team that works toward this goal. The documented processes described in the next section define the scope of their activity. 

This part traces the evolution of concepts that define the scope of SCM. It seeks to establish the SCM role in running the business and constantly improving its ability to compete. The part contains descriptions of models for competing, many of which have contributed to today s focus on supply chains as competitors rather than individual companies. From this work, we develop a model for classifying supply chain improvement projects according to their contribution to improving competitive position.
