Production assurance

Production assurance is a way to ensure a productive capacity meets its intended end-results such as customer requirements,[1] planned production levels,[2] safety, reliability, risk and direct economic cost. The term is used in industries as far reaching as livestock production,[3] oil and gas[4] and information technology. Production assurance is broadly related to productivity and quality management since organizational and human factors must be considered, as well as technical aspects.[5] ISO 20815:2008 introduces production assurance as a concept composed of twelve processes where "seven are defined as core production-assurance processes".

Production assurance normally exists in the context of an enterprise or between producers and oversight bodies, such as regulators.
