2004 USDA Forest Service Activities Model

1. Business Activity ModelUSDA Forest Service 2004 Planning Rule This is a graphical model of the activities and actions literally stated in the 2004 Planning Rule and high-level activities from the Forest Service Manual (1920) and Handbook (1909.12). Each activity is presented in a separate box and boxes are arranged in a top-down hierarchy with the most general activities at the top and successively more specific actions in the lower levels. Lines connect the boxes to indicate these “parent – child” or “general – more specific” relationships. The model can be read by inserting the activity phrases from the parent and associated children boxes into the general statement “In order to [parent activity], you must [child activity 1], [child activity 2], etc”. The left-to-right order of boxes at any level is not intended to be sequential but the activities are often arranged this way to help understanding. Activities in green boxes are required by the rule. Activities in yellow boxes are situational, either optional, requiring a choice among alternative activities, or depending upon circumstances. Blue boxes have been used by the PAG group in very limited situations for activities strongly implied by the rule but not literally stated by it. Activities in aqua boxes are from the directives. Slide #2 is the topmost sub-model. Other sub-models are shown on other slides. Use the hyperlinks “Go to sub-model” and “Return” to navigate between levels.
