Business continuity plan
For an owner or operations manager: the activities the business cannot stop for long, how long each can be down and how much data it can lose, what each depends on, the fallback for each, and named owners, deputies, contacts and a test date, ready for a competent reviewer and the owner's approval.

Category sourcing plan
For the buyer or operations lead who owns one spend category, such as packaging or IT hardware: its spend and suppliers on one page, where it sits on a supply-risk and spend matrix, the value levers the evidence supports, and a dated sourcing plan. A person chooses the approach.

Contractor safety prequalification
For a named job, the operations, facilities or site manager gets a safety questionnaire scaled to the risk of the work, then a record of the contractor's answers scored only on the evidence supplied, with every gap, the conditions that close it and a review date. A competent person decides.

Deliverable issue completeness check

Demand and supply review
The operations lead gets one monthly review from the demand plan, confirmed supply and stock: where confirmed and likely demand outrun supply, what that does to inventory, and the decision each function head has to make. Sales ambition stays separate and nothing is forecast beyond your figures.

Inventory reorder plan

Operations KPI scorecard
Once a month the operations manager gets one red-amber-green page for the ten or fewer measures that run the operation: each value worked out from your own exports, its trend, what moved and why in the owner's words, and the action agreed for every red. You set the measures and decide the actions.

Premortem before a decision
Before your team commits to a plan that is hard to undo, such as a move, a launch or a new system, a short workshop pictures it a few months on, already failed. The record ranks the reasons, turns each top risk into a check, a warning sign and an owner, and leaves the go decision with the owner.

Process map and bottleneck review
Map one process step by step: who does each step, how long work waits and how long it takes, where it is handed over and where it gets sent back. Then find the one step that caps how much gets finished, and what to try there first. The owner decides what changes.

Product recall customer contact plan

When a phase or a project ends, the project manager gets one blameless review: whether it achieved what it was for, how scope, schedule and budget moved and why, whether the success measures were the right ones, and practice changes for the team to choose, each with an owner and a follow-up date.

Project status report
The lead of an internal project gets a status report the sponsor can read in two minutes: each workstream red, amber or green with the reason, what moved, who must clear each blocker, the decisions needed and the dates at risk.
