4. Empowering staff

Outside the regulatory framework, it may be useful to qualify personnel in order to :

• harmonize practices;

• reduce the variability of a manufacturing or measurement process;

• define the priority tasks to be carried out when using temporary staff;

• anticipate skill shortages when staff moves.

Tracking authorizations can be used to highlight the need for substitution for critical activities at a workstation (see table "Breaking down an activity into tasks for a workstation").

Depending on the nature of the position, activities may not be correlated with each other, in which case partial authorizations may be issued for some of the activities or tasks.
