OPS.10:4.1 - State the demand and service question

Name the accepted result, population, demand profile, horizon and service criterion. Distinguish a service-visit queue from the operation’s final accepted-result population. State whether the question concerns a hard deadline for known jobs, a mean delay, a probability of completion, a protected response class or a bounded overload scenario.

Recover the initial unfinished work and its remaining service requirements. Preserve the customer’s waiting origin when local release times differ. If a target is an existing commitment, keep its parties and authority; a calculated service scenario does not create a promise.
