Examples; 10 of the 996 standard requirements:
- How confident are you that successful planning for achieved competence and skill development and production of desired materials will add value to each subsequent hierarchical level?
- Does the facility have a detection program, independent from production, which provides high assurance of detecting unauthorized production and unauthorized enrichment?
- Has the industry found the optimum balance of capacity utilization, production efficiency, and customer satisfaction that maximizes profitability?
- Does the schedule actually stay within the bounds of your blending constraints, or does it deliver material that is outside the specified blend?
- How can macro economic trend information contained in industrial reports influence the demand planning process to improve production scheduling?
- Is there a need for so many sales, production planning and distribution departments if moving to customer pull and highly reactive systems?
- How are forecasting, aggregate planning, master scheduling, materials requirements planning, and operations control tied together?
- How does the fundamental, vital processing look and what meaningful processing sequence should the production process follow?
- Are there any plans to control or reduce predation during the operation of the hatchery until natural production takes over?
- Are you planning on maintaining the production of the product, selling and marketing it yourself, or through distributors?
