• NPDI: The business rule is a combination of below:
  • Plant
  • Region
  • Market
  • Product Family

This means that a user must be active in all of these attributes in order to get their name in the Project Team suggested by the system. Since multiple people could fulfill these criteria the hence system lets the user (Requestor) choose the best possible user against each Function.

• TT: This process contains two separate project team creation activities, first at the time of project initiation (i.e. via Request Page) and once the project approval is received at the 'TT Validation Team and Notification Task'. For both cases, the business rules are considered as follows:
  • TT Request Page:
    • Strategy – Based on Product Family user chooses.
    • Technology Manager – Based on Product Family & Region.
    • Sending Plant Tech Manager – Based on Sending Plant selected.

Since multiple people could fulfil these criteria, the system lets the user (Requestor) choose the best possible user against each and every Function

• • TT Team Validation & Notification Task:
    • Receiving Site
    • Region
    • Product Family
    • Market

This means that a user has to be active in all of these attributes in order to get their name in the Project Team suggested by the system. Since multiple people could fulfill these criteria the system lets the users (Requestor) choose the best possible user against each Function.
