CHAPTER I
ELEMENTS OF THE CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT PROCESS
1. INTRODUCTION. CAMP is a credible, consistent, auditable, and technically
sound process for the Department to forecast, plan, and prioritize
requirements for assets. CAMP provides an objective, rational basis for
allocating budgeted resources for maintenance, repair, modification, reuse,
and eventual replacement of assets required to meet site missions. CAMP is
an effective and efficient mechanism that ensures compliance with
applicable laws, regulations, and standards. The following paragraphs
discuss each of the key elements of CAMP in a general, chronological order.
A flow diagram illustrating the annual CAMP cycle is shown on Attachment
I-1.
2. PROCESS ELEMENTS. CAMP is an integrated process and requires the
performance of each of the following elements:
a. Assign Capital Assets. Assign each asset to an appropriate functional
unit (FU). No asset may be assigned to more than one FU. The FU is the
reporting level used by the Department in CAMP. This allows comparison
of assets on a Departmentwide basis. Appropriate Secretarial Officers
and sites may manage at levels other than FUs as desired. (See Chapter
III.)
Section 9
b. Receive Headquarter's Guidance. Heads of Headquarters Elements send
multiyear strategic mission statements and program direction and
guidance to the field at least annually. Additional guidance will also
be provided in the annual CAMP Call. The CAMP Site Report shall
incorporate this guidance. (See Chapter III.)
c. Develop Life-Cycle Plans. As appropriate, develop LCPs for assets
based on life-cycle requirements to meet missions and prioritize
projects to meet those requirements. These LCPs become part of the
justification for the new projects. (See Chapter III.)
d. Identify Deficiencies/Requirements. The Condition Assessment Survey
(CAS) identifies site asset deficiencies. CAS is also used as a tool
to help meet the facilities inspection requirements of DOE 4330.4B,
MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. The data captured from CAS is directly
read into the Condition Assessment Information System (CAIS).
e. Evaluate Alternatives. Develop and evaluate alternatives for meeting
the identified requirements. Alternatives may include, but are not
limited to, maintenance, repair, modification, reuse, or replacement of
existing assets, or construction of new assets. (See Chapter III.)
I-2 DOE 4320.2A
2-10-94
f. Identify Projects. If the preferred alternative is identified as a
project, develop rationale, scope, cost, and schedule.
g. Prioritize Projects. Prioritize the projects by ranking scores to
ensure the most cost-effective application of limited resources to meet
the most critical needs. Sites shall validate, compare, and normalize
initial project rating scores across the entire site without respect to
the source or availability of funding. (See Chapter IV.)
h. Prepare Site CAMP Report. Prepare the Site CAMP Report in accordance
with the format and schedule provided in the CAMP Call. The Site CAMP
Reports support budget requests but are not budget documents in and of

CHAPTER II
CONDITION ASSESSMENT SURVEY
1. INTRODUCTION. The Condition Assessment Survey (CAS) is a systematic
inspection process to determine asset conditions. This Chapter provides
general information on CAS and the basic method for implementing CAS
throughout the Department. The relationship to the Site CAMP Report is
discussed in detail in Chapter III of this Order. Programmatic objectives
of DOE 4330.4B, MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, call for facility condition
inspections and Condition Assessment Surveys. CAS shall be performed
within the context of this Chapter.
2. OBJECTIVE. The primary objective of CAS is to assist all DOE sites in
assessing the condition of their assets. CAS is based on a set of
consensus standards, methods, and technologies to conduct the surveys and
to collect and disseminate the survey and inspection information. The
information is assembled in a database (the Condition Assessment
Information System (CAIS)) that provides basic information necessary for
the maintenance and asset management programs. CAIS data is also used to
compile the Site CAMP Report.
Section 10
3. MAINTENANCE PROJECTIONS. Appropriate levels of maintenance can be
projected for assets nearing the end of their useful lives. The
identification of assets projected for disposal can trigger requests for
planning support and design funding for replacement. Managers can use CAIS
to project current deficiency data into the future. CAIS can assist in
developing annual funding profiles for maintenance, repair, rehabilitation,
or replacement of assets.
4. IMPLEMENTATION. The effective implementation of CAS depends on the
following:
The systematic application of consistent standards for inspection,
Proper use of a graded approach agreed to by the specific site
Operations Office and the appropriate Management and Operating (M&O)
contractors,
The formation and training of inspection teams,
The application of quality assurance procedures,
The use of a flexible database, and
The exercise of consistent management oversight.
II-2 DOE 4320.2A
2-10-94
The following paragraphs outline DOE's approach to the implementation of CAS
through the CAS Manuals:
a. CAS Manuals. The CAS Manuals contain detailed information for field
implementation of CAS. These Manuals provide a foundation for
checklists and other information in CAIS to assist field inspectors in
determining the condition of existing assets relative to industry
standards. CAS manuals delineate standards and procedures for CAS
inspection. They are designed to ensure that one site does not
determine an asset as deficient when another site declares a like asset
with similar problems as adequate. CAS standards and procedures shall
be periodically updated in accordance with DOE 1300.2A, DEPARTMENT OF
ENERGY STANDARDS PROGRAM. CAS Manuals may be augmented with such
documents as DOE 6430.1A, GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA, current OSHA and
environmental regulations, specialized industry standards such as those
defined by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, standards
published by nationally recognized professional organizations, etc.
b. Frequency of Inspections. The CAS Manuals recommend frequency of
inspections by type of asset.
c. Use of CAIS. The implementation of CAS requires the use of CAIS,
database management software designed to store and manipulate basic
levels of inspection data. The Associate Deputy Secretary for Field
Management supports and maintains CAIS.
d. Quality Assurance. CAS incorporates a quality assurance (QA) program
to certify the credibility of the CAS process, and to ensure that
routine inspections are performed by site personnel that reflect
current standards and procedures. The Associate Deputy Secretary for
Field Management shall maintain a QA program for CAS. The standards
and procedures used shall be periodically evaluated against state-of-
the-art engineering practice, procedures, and requirements to determine
both the accuracy and applicability of the Department's CAS process.
e. Inspector Training. The inspectors shall be trained in the use of DOE
standards and procedures for developing consistent and accurate
inspection results, and the use of special tools, equipment and
software.
f. Formation of Specialized Inspection Teams. Certain assets unique to
DOE may require highly specialized techniques and equipment to perform
periodic inspections. To minimize the cost of these anticipated
frequent inspections, DOE may establish teams of specialists to inspect
these assets at DOE sites. Variables that may affect the decision to
use such teams include, but are not limited to, the following examples:
Section 11
(1) Nuclear facility versus non-nuclear facility.
(2) The safety significance of nuclear facility systems.
(3) Active facility versus partially active or inactive facility.
(4) Short-term versus long-term facility mission.
(5) Modernization or Decontamination and Decommissioning plans.
(6) Lack of CAS standards.
g. Data From Other Inspection Systems. CAIS should be used to incorporate
the results of other specialized inspection programs that may
contribute to the identification of asset related deficiencies. Some
DOE 4320.2A II-3 (and II-4)
2-10-94
examples are: OSHA inspections, preventive maintenance program
findings, safety reviews, etc.
h. Facility Information Centralization. CAIS is recommended as a central
repository for facility information at the sites.
5. RESULTS. A systematically applied CAS assesses the condition of assets and
their remaining useful life. CAS facilitates time-phased budgeting of
maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, or replacement. CAS produces the
following results:
a. Identification of deficiencies found during the CAS inspection process
that are classified as requiring recurring maintenance and that require
the use of annually appropriated operating funds to correct.
b. Identification of repairs that require the use of operating or line
item funds to correct.
c. Identification of technical or functional deficiencies for which
maintenance or repair is not an acceptable solution, and therefore
requiring modification, expansion, rehabilitation, improvement, etc.,
normally considered to be capital improvements to correct.
d. Identification of technical or functional deficiencies that require the
complete replacement of the asset using General Plant Projects (GPP),
Capital Equipment (CE), or Line Item (LI) funds, etc.

CHAPTER III
SITE CAMP REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION. This chapter provides information and direction for the
preparation of Site CAMP Reports. The Site CAMP Report provides consistent
asset planning information from a comprehensive assessment of the condition
of the site's assets. In addition, the Report provides a comprehensive
assessment of the functional unit analysis of life-cycle plans to support
asset funding requirements. In general, the Site CAMP Report provides DOE
with a contractor's best estimate for projects, functional unit analysis of
life-cycle plans, and a summary of the maintenance plans. The Site CAMP
Report also summarizes maintenance and maintenance backlog issues at each
site and helps to ensure repairs, rehabilitation, and replacement needs are
identified, planned, and coordinated with other DOE facility-related
initiatives and processes. Finally, the Site CAMP Report summarizes and
documents the categories for project prioritization rating, i.e., health
and safety, environment/waste management, safeguards and security, and
programmatic projects and activities. (See Chapter IV for more details.)
The Site CAMP Report supports budget requests but is not a budget document
in and of itself. The CAMP Call will contain additional guidance for the
Site CAMP Report as necessary.
2. KEY ELEMENTS. Key elements in the preparation of the Site CAMP Report are
described below. The specific format of the Site CAMP Report is delivered
in the annual CAMP Call and is supported by additional guidance developed
by the CAMP Planning and Analysis Group (i.e., the CAMP Handbook).
Section 12
a. Basic Guidance. Program direction derived from Headquarters multiyear
and strategic planning guidance will be updated and issued annually by
Heads of Headquarters Elements in time for the preparation of the Site
CAMP Report. Each site shall submit a single report covering all
assets of the site. The following guidance shall be used when
preparing a Site CAMP Report:
(1) Assume that funding will be provided for maintenance,
preservation, and projects essential for worker and public health
and safety, satisfy Environment, Safety and Health (ES&H)
requirements, satisfy Safeguards & Security (S&S) requirements,
and meet mission requirements. Funding for activities that
enhance or improve capabilities, but which are not essential for
mission performance, may be provided on an available basis.
(2) Assume that the expected useful life of assets will be realized
through reduction of the maintenance backlog, the application of
appropriate elements of the maintenance programs, and the repair,
replacement, and rehabilitation of assets as required. An asset's
remaining useful life should be evaluated at a time interval that
precludes unanticipated failures that necessitate the wholesale
replacement of an asset.
(3) Assume that all applicable laws, regulations, and Departmental
requirements will be met as a precondition of operations.
(4) The Site CAMP Report shall be prepared in accordance with a CAMP
Call issued annually and updated to reflect the Department's
strategic planning guidance. The CAMP Call provides specific
instruction and typically contains the following:
Report format,
III-2 DOE 4320.2A
2-10-94
Schedules for submission,
Significant project reporting guidance,
Prioritization guidance,
FUDS format,
Appropriate software,
Life-cycle planning guidance,
Program specific guidance, and
Planning horizon.
(5) The Site CAMP Report shall contain sitewide strategies to address
common asset needs such as office buildings, training centers,
roads, and basic infrastructure requirements. Significant
differences between the present submission and the previous
submission shall be addressed.
(6) The CAMP Administrator provides additional guidance as needed.
b. Functional Units (FUs). The assembly of assets into FUs in the CAMP
Report is required to provide comparability across all DOE sites. The
30 FU codes listed in Figure III-1 shall be used for the Site CAMP
Report. While assembly, analysis, planning, and reporting by FU is
required for the Site CAMP Report, other planning units may be used by
the sites to manage their facilities. FU assignments shall be capable
of being reviewed to assure consistency with DOE guidelines. The FU
Breakdown Structure (FUBS) provides a method for identifying the site's
FUs and establishing a framework for reporting on the Department's
assets by FU. The flexibility of the FUBS allows several levels for
reporting, depending on the complexity of the site and the management
requirements. A more detailed FUBS (see Figure III-2) provides a
method for identifying the site's FUs and establishes a framework for
identifying the site's FUs in a hierarchical structure. The third
level is the level at which CAMP reporting normally occurs. Site
personnel shall define the site's FU levels based on their operational
needs and their need to identify and track planning at a particular
level of detail. The guidance concerning preparation and format of the
FUBS is contained in the additional materials provided by the CAMP
Administrator.

c. Life-Cycle Plans. The Site CAMP Report requires an FU Level Analysis
of LCPs. LCPs show forecasted major activities throughout the life of
an asset, its maintenance and associated projects (LI, CE, GPP). An
alternatives analysis for facilities, major equipment, and
infrastructure requirements is performed. The LCP provides an overview
of a specific asset and an assessment of the activities and resources
needed to sustain it over its mission or asset life. LCPs contain a
summary of all relevant costs.
d. Functional Unit Level Analysis. An FU level analysis contains the
following elements:
(1) Planning Basis. The planning basis is a discussion that justifies
the need and describes the life-cycle mission for the FU and its
importance to the overall DOE operation. The planning basis shall
also include any information necessary to explain proposed upgrade
and improvement projects, a short analysis of recommended
maintenance actions, and an overall assessment of the FU's
material condition and its suitability for service or any
resulting operational limitations. The planning basis shall be
prepared by experts outside the site organization to objectively
analyze and understand the proposed maintenance and capital
investment requirements for the FU. The planning basis for the FU
must contain, as appropriate, a discussion of the following
factors:
Mission.
Section 14
Relationship to other FUs, organizational, site, legal,
regulatory, or other changes.
Material condition and expected remaining useful life based
on applicable CAIS information.
Key activities and upgrades to achieve useful life
projections.
ES&H and S&S upgrades.
Standby, transition surveillance and maintenance, or
decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) activities.
(2) Description of Activities. The description of activities is a
concise, narrative discussion of each of the activities identified
in the planning basis (see paragraph 2d(1), above). The
narratives of the activities shall be provided in chronological
order. Information contained in the narratives shall include
explanations of factors listed in the planning basis that
influence a given activity.

2-10-94
(3) Maintenance Issues. This element consists of a summary of the
maintenance issues specific to the FU. Pertinent issues to be
considered include the following:
Significant preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance
activities.
Maintenance backlog and any actions planned to reduce the
maintenance backlog.
Special or unusual funding requirements.
Other maintenance program concerns.
e. Identification of Projects. Asset managers shall develop and evaluate
alternatives for meeting each FU's requirements defined in its
respective LCP or Functional Unit Level Analysis (See paragraph 2d,
above). When the preferred alternatives are identified as projects,
they shall include adequate scope, cost, and schedule information to
allow prioritization in accordance with Chapter IV of this Order. Note
the broad definition of projects in Attachment 1 of this Order.
(1) Cutoff Level for Reporting of Projects. All significant projects
that can reasonably be forecast for the life of an FU shall be
reported. For CAMP, the following parameters shall be considered
in determining whether or not a project is significant:
The magnitude of the cost of a project.
The cost of the project relative to the replacement plant
value of the asset or FU involved.
The impact of the project on the function of the asset or FU.
For example, a relatively low cost project that is critical
to continued operation may need to be reported,
particularly if it will require an outage to accomplish.
The priority of the project as determined by the method
described in Chapter IV of this Order.
(2) Project Constraints. Project packaging (i.e., electrical
deficiencies in several buildings of the same FU) is a tool that
may be used to manage the correction of large numbers of
deficiencies. It is also important that project schedules be
critically examined and coordinated to avoid large, unmanageable
"mortgage" requirements or large year-to-year variances in out-
year funding requirements, that projects be executed on the most
economical schedule, and that costs be realistic. Projects that
are presented as "buy-ins" (low first-year costs with
disproportionate out-year costs) or that have artificially
extended and, consequently, less than optimum schedules are
unacceptable. Judgment of the responsible site personnel is the
essential ingredient in assuring compliance with these project
constraints. Appropriate Secretarial Officers shall exercise
oversight of projects.
f. Maintenance Plan. A highlight summary of the maintenance plans
produced in compliance with DOE 4330.4B, MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM.

g. Project Prioritization. A prioritized listing as appropriate of the
site's projects, derived from the method discussed in Chapter IV of
DOE 4320.2A III-7 (and III-8)

system for rating and ranking DOE assets.
h. Functional Unit Data Sheet. The Functional Unit Data Sheet (FUDS) is a
summary document containing the relevant data for a significant project
in the life of a particular FU.
3. RESULTS.
a. The Site CAMP Report provides a site perspective summary of the
condition of existing assets as related to the mission of the site.
b. The Site CAMP Report, submitted to the Heads of Field Elements,

CHAPTER IV
CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT PROCESS PRIORITIZATION
1. INTRODUCTION. Consistency throughout the Department in the prioritization,
preparation, and submission of asset management resource requirements is a
key element of the Capital Asset Management Process (CAMP). To achieve the
desired consistency, all sites shall adopt the CAMP prioritization process
discussed in this Chapter. The prioritization process is designed to rate
and rank each project. The priority lists shall be updated annually. This
process shall be used as a tool to help prioritize projects on a sitewide,
Field, and Headquarters (HQ) level.
2. BACKGROUND. The CAMP prioritization process is a systematic, structured,
and consistent method for determining the preferred order for allocating
limited resources to solve problems. This process prioritizes the problems
(events, conditions, situations, requirements, etc.) that projects are
intended to address. Other methods and techniques are used to assess the
appropriateness or readiness of a project; examples are: value engineering,
justification reviews, and project validations. For the purposes of this
chapter, problems and projects can be thought of as interchangeable in the
prioritization process.
a. Development Basis. The CAMP prioritization process was developed on
the basis of risk management and reflects the values and culture of the
Department. The prioritization criteria consist of the two elements of
risk--consequence and probability. They are combined in the criteria
statements and are influenced by the terminology and expressions
commonly used by the people who work with the various rating criteria
categories. The scores represent the risk-consequence and probability
of occurrence based on the descriptions under each rating criteria.
The rating criteria were developed and positioned based on Departmental
intentions and public expectations, appropriate standard industrial
practices, and represent the desired level of operational conduct (see
Attachment IV-1).
b. Universality. The CAMP prioritization process is universal,
encompassing four major categories: (1) health and safety; (2)
environment/waste management; (3) safeguards and security; and (4)
programmatic. The process provides for expansion, change, and
improvements. Further, it can easily accommodate ratings derived from
other prioritization systems, as long as the ratings reflect the same
values and culture. The rating criteria and scoring process are
contained in the Attachments to this Chapter and shall be maintained by
HQ. Any changes to the prioritization process will be transmitted with
the annual CAMP Call.
Section 16
3. APPROACH. The problem-rating criteria within each of the four major
categories and their subcategories are aligned along a scoring scale so
that they represent the same severity or priority. Therefore, any rating
score in one category or subcategory represents the same problem severity
as the same numerical rating score in any other category. This alignment
of criteria is crucial to achieve an equivalent, integrated ranking between
dissimilar problems or projects.
a. Steps. The CAMP prioritization process consists of four steps:
(1) rating; (2) scoring; (3) initial ranking; and (4) final ranking.
It is vital that bias be minimized. To this end, ratings are
normalized in each step of the consolidation review process (i.e., from
facility, to site, to Operations Office, to HQ Program Office). This
ensures consistency, equitable application of ratings, and fair and
IV-2 DOE 4320.2A
2-10-94
accurate comparisons and rankings. The process for developing a total
score for each problem/project gives greatest emphasis to the most
severe rating, but also recognizes that some problems have multiple
dimensions. The process therefore should duly reflect their
contributions.
b. Severity Rating Scale. The problem severity ratings span a scale from
20 to 80. The scale could have been infinite, but the two ends were
collapsed for ease of use.
c. Benchmark Criteria. To assist in assigning major category ratings,
benchmark criteria are given for a number of subcategories under each
major category. Subcategory benchmark criteria are shown in Attachment
IV-1. The subcategories enable project sponsors to rate problems with
reference to specific technical and managerial benchmarks, as a guide
to accurate rating. The probability and frequency languages used in
the benchmark rating criteria for all four major categories and their
respective subcategories are outlined in Attachment IV-2.
d. Sample. A sample of an application of the rating and ranking process
is presented in Attachment IV-3.
e. Initial Ranking. Rank initially in descending order according to total
rating score. The highest rating score, therefore, is the highest
ranked priority. (Note: As previously stated, the benchmarks are
defined so that a numeric rating on any scale denotes problem severity
equal to the severity of the same numeric rating on any other scale.)
For instance, a problem rating of 52 in the Programmatic Category is as
important as a problem rating of 52 on the Health & Safety Category, by
design. However, where two or more problems have identical overall
problem ratings, their initial rankings shall be determined through a
tie breaker by giving priority to each major category in the following
order: Health & Safety; Environment/Waste Management; Safeguards and
Security; and Programmatic.
f. Final Ranking.
(1) Projects proposed to address the prioritized problems for out-
years are seldom thoroughly defined at the time the 5-year plan is
prepared and are best ranked according to the severity ratings of
the problems they are to address. Once CDRs are completed,
project cost, scope, and results are better defined.
Nevertheless, projects should continue to be ranked primarily
according to problem severity throughout the planning period.
Management review of the initial ranking is important to ensure
all considerations are reflected in the final ranking. Techniques
such as pair-wise comparisons are useful. Supplemental
information to adjust rankings may include cost, problem
improvement or severity reduction (rating reduction effected by
the project), scope, readiness of a project, etc. Whether and how
supplemental information modifies an installation's initial
ranking is left to local discretion.
Section 17
(2) Rankings may be done for all the problems/projects in the 5-year
planning period and then organized into individual fiscal year
rankings or ranked initially by year. Because of budget
formulation considerations (e.g., funding limitations, project
readiness, consolidation of like projects, etc.), actual project
budget submissions could result in modifying the order of the
yearly rankings.

PROBABILITY AND FREQUENCY LANGUAGE
The probability and frequency languages used in the benchmark rating criteria
for all four major categories and their respective subcategories have many
different terms. The definitions of these terms are subject to different
interpretations among the various potential users. To minimize
misinterpretation, the probability and frequency languages, along with the
respective algorithms, have been standardized. Those standards and their
corresponding ranges are shown in the figures below.
Standardized Terms Range (Events/Year)
Essentially Impossible (<10 8)
Extremely Unlikely (10 8 10 6)
Unlikely (10 6 10 3)
Slightly Likely (0.001 0.01)
Possible (0.01 0.1)
Moderately Likely (0.1 0.4)
Likely (0.4 0.7)
Highly Likely (0.7 1.0)

Standardized Terms & Synonyms Frequency Range

Frequent(ly), often, common 12 to 120 per year
Many, numerous 10 to 100 per year
Some, several 5 to 50 per year
Occasional(ly), few 1 to 10 per year

SAMPLE OF PROBLEM RATING, SCORING, AND RANKING
1. PROBLEM. A nitrate recovery system is badly deteriorated, unreliable, less
efficient than new technology, and incapable of meeting expected new liquid
waste discharge regulations.
2. PROCEDURE. The highest single category rating score is identified. For
each of the remaining three major categories, up to 3 points may be added.
How many points are added depends on the nearness of the category rating to
the highest category rating. Category ratings at or below 20 on the rating
scale, or categories not rated, do not contribute to increasing the overall
problem score. Category ratings higher than 20 add more points the closer
they are to the highest category rating. The default level of 20
represents a satisfactory or adequate rating.
a. Rating.
(1) First, assign a problem rating for each subcategory determined to
be applicable and defensible in any or all of the major
categories. This should be based on the projected condition of
the problem at the time of correction. For a single subcategory,
do this by finding a benchmark on the scale that most nearly
describes the problem, then select its corresponding numerical
rating score. Interpolations along the scoring scale between
rating criteria benchmarks is appropriate.
(2) Second, assign a rating for each major category that is defined as
the highest single subcategory rating under that major category.
Use a default rating of 20 for each major category for which no
subcategory rating was initially assigned.
EXAMPLE:
MAJOR CATEGORY SUBCATEGORY RATING
Environmental/Waste Mgmt. Regulatory Compliance 65
Environmental/Waste Mgmt. Liquid Waste 62
Environmental/Waste Mgmt. Waste Minimization 57
Programmatic Physical Condition 53
Programmatic Best Mgmt. Practice 35
b. Assign category ratings.
(1) Health and Safety: 20 (default value for unrated categories);
(2) Environmental/Waste Management: 65 (highest subcategory rating);
(3) Safeguards and Security: 20 (default value for unrated
categories);
(4) Programmatic: 53 (highest subcategory rating).
Attachment IV-3 DOE 4320.2A
Page IV-14 2-10-94
3. SCORING. Compute the overall rating score.
EXAMPLE:
MAJOR CATEGORY RATING CALCULATION POINTS
Environmental/Waste Mgmt. (65) 65 = 65
Programmatic (53) 3 x (53-20)/(65-20)= 2.2
Health and Safety (20) 3 x (20-20)/(65-20)= 0*
Safeguards & Security (20) 3 x (20-20)/(65-20)= 0*
TOTAL = 67.2
*Shortcut Note: Unrated categories will always yield "0" points.
4. RANKING
a. Rank initially according to problem rating. Suppose other proposed
projects and their ratings are B (54), C (64), and D (68). The initial
ranking is D (first priority), A (second priority), C (third priority),
and B (last priority).
b. Establish final ranking. The final ranking is derived from the initial
ranking following management review that considers all possible
factors, including problem improvement, problem scope, project cost,
and project readiness.
