SECURE MANAG EMENT APPROVAL

Since the TTNA process involves facility personnel, it is important for you

to explain the purpose of the seminar to all concerned management levels

and obtain their approval and support throughout the conduct of the TTNA

seminar.

Your discussions with management should include:

Purpose of Seminar. Discuss the process that will follow before

and during the seminar and the kind of support you will require to

address your problem or concern during your discussion with

management.

Seminar Length. Explain that the seminar will last anywhere from

2 to 5 days depending upon the type of request and the extent

and depth of the analysis that will follow.

Who Needs to be Involved. Explain that the seminar must involve

the people described in the next step, who must participate for the

entire length of the seminar. To ensure that the TTNA process

yield a successful outcome/results you must with the concerned

management input involve only those individuals who will

participate and make a valuable contribution (not someone to fill a

position for the team). Before you talk to the concerned

management read the team member qualifications listed in the

next step. Stress to your management the significance of

involving expert individuals in this TTNA seminar.

Establish Dates for 2-5 day TTNA Seminar. When seeking

management approval ask if they have suggestions for dates that

would best accommodate potential TTNA team members (consider

shift schedules, scheduled outages etc.)

Ask management to send letters to potential team members.

Refer to Appendix D, for a sample letter management can use to

invite potential team members.
