OPS.11.1:4.6 - Obtain and interpret the operating alternatives

Translate the recovered conditions into a form from which the requested result can be obtained. MMP.10 constructs constraints; OPS.10 selects the service and capacity question. Use a hand calculation when it suffices, or choose a computational procedure under C.29.2 and the relevant CMP methods.

Check the obtained alternative against the operating arrangement. Can the people and equipment occupy the proposed intervals? Are the receiving inputs available together? Does the calculated final event make the result usable? A schedule can satisfy a mistaken model, so successful computation alone does not settle these questions.

For a comparison across scales, return the local change and its wider consequence together. Explain where a delay, burden or unfinished obligation moves. OPS.14 supplies financial consequences when they can change the choice; their quantities need their own interpretation.

Stop with a sufficient comparison or the missing contribution that prevents one. Retain the assumptions a recipient needs to use the result. When routing, resources, calendars or acceptance changes, revise the affected account and propagate the change through the relationships that consumed it.
