4.1.1.12. Process - Make the standing plan (MAA's)

Here is where the basis is laid for doing the selected right things in the right way. Clear performance objectives - supported by appropriate guidelines - must be set up for the selected specific activities. For example: what inspections should be done and how, how to go about task analysis, how to investigate which incidents, etc. After answering the "what and why" done during step 8, this details the "how, whom and when".

While all steps are important in the overall process, this step is vital as it forms the basis for success which can only come from doing the right things in the right way. This is where the Management System gets meaning and will act as a reference for implementation, after the approval of the Project Improvement Team (PIT)

Purpose of this step is the development of Management System elements (ref. 8) by the element coordination teams until approval by the PIT has been obtained.
