The bottom line

Only about 15% of Relocate material and tools is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: With no child occupations seeded, this score relies on the APQC lens prior ('Plan and acquire assets', which anchors low) and the explicit process description. The work is defined as 'Relocating the tools and raw materials' and shifting physical machines, requiring the literal, manual movement of physical objects, landing this squarely in the physical band.

How the work flows

Trigger: A change in business requirements, facility layout, or project site necessitates the movement of physical assets, tools, or raw materials.

  1. Identify and inventory the assets and materials requiring relocation
  2. Plan the logistics, routing, and timeline for the move
  3. Pack, secure, and load the materials and tools for transit
  4. Transport the assets to the designated new location
  5. Unload, inspect for transit damage, and stage the inventory
  6. Reinstall tools and organize materials at the destination

Outcome: Assets and materials are safely transported, inspected, and positioned at the new location ready for operational use.
