Goals cont'd

DOE-STD-1032-92

goals of the support groups to ensure that they are consistent with, and complementary

to, those developed by operations line management.

Where appropriate, action plans (policies) should be developed for achieving goals. The

action plans should specify the actions and responsibilities of each individual

contributing to achieving the goal. Milestones should be established to track progress.

Management should periodically review progress toward accomplishing goals. Formal

reviews should be conducted and results communicated to facility personnel. If results

show a significant variance from the desired progress in achieving goals, management

should review the action plan to ensure that it is adequate and being effectively executed

and that allocated resources are sufficient. Based on the results of the review, changes

to goals should be considered if conditions have changed since the time the goals were

established and the impact of the revised goals has been assessed on the overall

performance of the facility.

Operational goals should be established in areas such as:

Preventing unavailability of safety systems

Preventing personnel error

Maintaining exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA)

Preventing lost facility capability (e.g., lowered output, less effective)

Preventing unscheduled facility shutdowns

Maximizing the timely completion of scheduled surveillances

Minimizing the amount of overtime

Maintaining complete staffing and training of shift positions
