Factory System Inventory, Classification, and Lifecycle
Maintain one accountability record for each material autonomous delivery system without copying its subordinate registries.
A rapid review of the chapter’s existing Quick Read, principles, definitions, lessons, and review material.
The chapter in one pass.
- Purpose: Maintain one accountability record for each material autonomous delivery system without copying its subordinate registries.
- Owner: The named system owner; governance owns the schema and review policy, while registry owners remain authoritative for their objects.
- Invariant: No active system lacks an accepted purpose, accountable owner, risk tier, autonomy ceiling, lifecycle state, and current review evidence.
- Evidence boundary: A complete record proves inventory discipline, not control effectiveness.
2. Enduring Principle
Inventory the governed system; reference its parts
FactorySystemRecord is the accountability and classification spine. It
references immutable versions or registry identifiers. It does not become a
second service catalog, capability registry, model registry, policy store, or
evidence store.
5. Classification and review policy
Classification combines business impact, data sensitivity, side-effect class, deployment reach, reversibility, user impact, dependency criticality, and evidence strength. The highest material risk controls the autonomy ceiling; averaging several low risks cannot cancel one catastrophic action.
Review cadence is both periodic and event-driven. Reassess after a new data class, model family, privileged tool, deployment target, supplier, critical incident, material drift, control failure, ownership change, or autonomy promotion. Expired review evidence moves the system to restricted operation or blocks new high-risk work according to policy.
10. Review exercise and lab
Inventory one synthetic factory system. Revoke one tool version, change one owner, and expire its review. Demonstrate reference reconciliation, autonomy restriction, notification, recovery, and an audit trail that another reviewer can reconstruct without access to hidden model reasoning.
