OPS.10:4.6 - Return the operating decision and refresh basis

Return demand and result units, horizon, usable capacity and load assumptions, the selected analysis, alternative consequences, chosen option or exact blocker, provision/decision authority, residual demand and reopening conditions.

OPS.5 can use this basis for admission. OPS.8 can use it for release and protection. OPS.7 can use changed feasibility evidence for an existing commitment. Use OPS.13, or an appropriate method from the responsible service practice, to establish a wider credible service offer; the local capacity result alone does not supply it.

Reopen when mix, arrivals, access, capability, absence, failure/rework, resource coupling or the service criterion changes. Retain observations of actual performance so the next decision can test, rather than silently inherit, the previous model.
