OPS.19:4.2 - Recover the simultaneous Work without forcing one whole

Identify the actual or intended Work whose relations matter to the decision. Check case Work, shift or continuing-service Work, queue or constraint coordination, incident and recovery Work, financial-control Work, and Method-improvement Work only when each can change the choice.

For actual Work, preserve each independently supported Work whole and identify any supported parts or episodes separately. Record precedence, succession, or overlap only as relations among the identified Work. For intended Work, keep the WorkPlan and its conditions distinct from performed Work. Shared performers, timestamps, resources, labels, or diagrams do not establish parthood.

An admission–processing–inspection–delivery order can be real for one case while service coordination and improvement Work overlap it as separate wholes. Record both facts. Do not turn all concurrent activity into one process or all ordered activity into organization levels.
