Section I - Introduction Section 2 - Task Analysis and Sequence Flow Chart For The Major Functions of The GB
Section 1: Introduction
This document is divided into three major parts. The first part (Section 2)
presents the task analysis and sequence flow chart of the different activities that
the NEPA Governing Board will undertake in order to carry out its three major
functions - planning, policy making, and monitoring and evaluation.
The second part (Section 3) presents the work process flow charts of the
different activities identified in the NEPA GB Action Plan. These flow charts
specify the work process linkages, information requirements and approval
process between and among the Executive Committee, Technical Working
Groups, Technical Secretariat and the NEPA Airshed Governing Board as a
whole. The third part (Section 4) summarizes the outputs required from each
activity identified in the NEPA GB Action Plan.
Section 2: Task Analysis and Sequence Flow Chart for the Major Functions of the
NEPA Governing Board
This section presents the task analysis and sequence flow chart of the different
activities that the NEPA Governing Board will undertake in order to carry out its
three major functions, to wit:
1. Planning and Work Programming
2. Policy and Guidelines Formulation
3. Monitoring and Evaluation
These functions are illustrated by way of task analysis and sequence flow charts,
an analytical tool used in organizing tasks or work activities. The matrix shows in
a nutshell what outputs to be delivered, the inputs required, who performs what
activities, and when (although in this case, the time log was excluded). Every
task or responsibility is represented by a symbol. A symbol for supplier means
the person or group where the symbol falls must perform the task to be delivered
to a customer or receiver. The shared responsibility means two or more persons
or groups must perform the task simultaneously. Each major task has sub-tasks
or activities that are arranged in sequence. It indicates what tasks will need to be
undertaken in order to accomplish the major task, and which activities will need
to be undertaken first before the other. The purpose of using this framework is to
identify the activities and establish their sequence of performance in order to
accomplish the assigned tasks systematically.

Section 3: Work Process Design for the NEPA AS GB Action Plan
The work process design aims to specify the work process linkages, information
requirements and approval process between and among the Executive
Committee, Technical Working Groups, Technical Secretariat and the NEPA
ASGB as a whole. The purpose of defining these work processes is to develop a
clear alignment of work responsibilities, accountabilities, and information flow
within the NEPA AS GB as it implements its Action Plan. It also aims to organize
and establish the priorities in order to accomplish the assigned tasks, and
improve efficiency in resource utilization by avoiding duplication of efforts and
encouraging appropriate use of skills and institutional mandates. In the following
charts, the components of the NEPA AS GB Action Plan have been classified into
strategic, tactical and operational activities. Strategic activities are those which
have long-term impact, ranging from a year to twenty years and are usually
executed at the top management or executive level. These are accomplished
least in frequency compared to tactical and operational activities. Tactical
activities, on the other hand, are more frequently accomplished and have
medium-term impact compared to strategic activities. Its duration of impact often
ranges from a month to a year. These are accomplished at the middle
management levels. Operational activities are daily to monthly activities which
are usually routine tasks and will have to be accomplished at the lowest level of
the organizational hierarchy. It has the highest incidence of frequency among all
activities. In work process and organizational design, it is vital that activities are
segregated into strategic, tactical and operational activities in order to properly
allocate functions to positions which should have the appropriate knowledge,
attitude, skills and abilities. This shall also serve as a good foundation for
designing appropriate job dimensions, job content, job context and thereafter, a
rationalized salary scale design for the entity.
