Part 9 does not reproduce these parameters.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the recommended reading sequence for each role is intended as guidance. In practice, one person may be responsible for several activities, so the order in which the articles are consulted may vary.<\/p>\n<p>Third, the situations that can be addressed using existing data do not form an exhaustive list. When actual conditions change or available data are insufficient, the relevant technical article should be revisited for further evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>The situation-based approach, role-specific reading guidance and criteria for identifying when a process review is needed are based on Gia Anh&#8217;s work organization methodology.<\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: 3c654912-22d6-4fcb-8839-49144f9e112b --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8720,"parent":9452,"menu_order":9,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"danh-muc-kien-thuc":[277],"class_list":["post-9464","kien-thuc","type-kien-thuc","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","danh-muc-kien-thuc-machining-fabrication-and-installation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/giaanh.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kien-thuc\/9464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/giaanh.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kien-thuc"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/giaanh.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kien-thuc"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/giaanh.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kien-thuc\/9452"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/giaanh.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/giaanh.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"danh-muc-kien-thuc","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/giaanh.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/danh-muc-kien-thuc?post=9464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
