After a schedule is approved, which requirement should be established?

Establishing goals after the approval of a schedule is essential for several reasons. Goals provide a clear direction and purpose for the tasks that need to be accomplished during the scheduled time. They allow individuals to understand the expected outcomes and how their efforts contribute to the overall objectives of the team or organization. By setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, team members can prioritize their tasks and maintain focus on what is important.

While working hours, cleaning assignments, and maintenance assignments are important elements of overall operational planning, they are more logistical in nature. Goals, on the other hand, are strategic and encompass the bigger picture of what the team intends to achieve during the time outlined in the approved schedule. Setting goals helps in assessing progress, motivates team members, and enhances accountability, making them foundational to successful execution of any plan.
