Plan Your Next Step
Coordinate the Interfaces Between Disciplines
A service scope also needs clear interfaces. Connect point-of-use utility requirements, startup acceptance evidence, and product changeover requirements before equipment and construction decisions become fixed.
Use the manufacturing scenarios pillar to distinguish a new product adaptation, a utility constraint, or a startup readiness gap. Define the responsibilities, interfaces, and acceptance evidence alongside the relevant core services.
