LiMSS Content Development
Introduction
The Global Teams of Experts (ToEs) or Global Functions (as applicable) define and document processes,
procedures and operational/commercial/design standards which identify minimum requirements and best
practice.

LiMSS Global Teams of Experts (ToEs)
ToE members
A Global Team of Experts typically include the following roles:
A ToE leader nominated by the Head of Div./GBU/BA/GSF in cooperation with the RBUs
Members representing the Divisions/GSF (in the case of Group standards) and/or the regional organisation
and nominated by the GBU/BA/GSF in cooperation with the RBUs
A Technical Writer
A dedicated resource such as Subject Matter Expert (if needed)

Business Process Owners
The Head of the Div./GBU/BA/CSF is responsible for the following:
Appoint the ToE Sponsor
Appoint the global Team of Experts (ToE) members together with the ToE Sponsor and RBUs
Give the ToE the authority to decide global best practice
Oversee progress of the ToE
Provide senior management support and guidance to the ToE together with Group SHEQ
Note: The use of global ToEs to create global standards is best practice. However, the Div./GBU/BA/CSF Head
may use alternative methods for creating global standards where appropriate.

ToE Sponsor
For every Global ToE a sponsor is appointed by the relevant GBU/GSF. The Sponsor should be a senior manager
who is familiar with the ToEs field of activity and be a member of the respective organisation (business process).
For regional ToEs the sponsor is appointed by the region.
Sponsors play an important role in ensuring that the work of the ToE is aligned with HPO/business priorities,
efficient, and that the resulting standards are accepted and implemented by the business.
The Sponsor's role is to ensure that:
LIMSS is accepted as the ultimate Management System for the Linde Group
Content of the developed documents is accepted and implemented by the business within an appropriate
timescale
The financial and organisational impact to the business caused by new requirements is known, considered
and agreed (if applicable)
The resources (budget and manpower) are used efficiently
ToE members get the necessary support and time for the ToE work
Networks are in place to include all relevant businesses in the development
Workload caused by implementation of standards is taken into consideration


IMS-02-17-GROUP LiMSS Organisation and Resources 1.12 August 2013

Sponsors are responsible for the following:
Promote LiMSS and the ToE process by:
Demonstrating commitment to the LIMSS ToE process by opening/closing ToE meetings or joining
teleconferences where possible
Appointing ToE members and ensuring that the most appropriate people are chosen to represent the
process
Ensuring an expert network is in place into all parts of the organisation to support the ToE
Publicly recognising the efforts of ToE members contributing to LIMSS development
Mediating where significant differences of opinion exists within a ToE or between a ToE and the
business
Deliver LiMSS documents to agreed plan for their area of responsibility by:
Ensuring that the ToE's work plan is approved and communicated
Keeping abreast with the ToEs agenda
Defining/approving priorities for development of standards
Promote implementation of LiMSS documents by:
Ensuring the ToE understands and communicates the impact of any new mandatory requirement
(musts)
Approving the scope and new 'minimum requirements' of any new standard
Ensuring all relevant parties are included in the development, approval and roll out process either by
ToE membership or via the network
Promoting ToE outcomes at relevant operations or safety peer teams, e.g. MPG operations leadership
team
Ensuring appropriate change management (including notification to those who are responsible for or
support implementation)

Role of the Global Teams of Experts (ToEs)
Global ToEs are responsible for the following:
Establish global minimum requirements for Lindes processes
Review and document best practice
Support improvement projects through the creation of operational procedures
Provide a focal point for the business to:
Evaluate improvements opportunities
Participate as experts in major incident investigations
Review incidents and identify trends to see if standards need to be written or changed
Develop and maintain a Table of Contents for their material and ensure published material aligns with the
Table of Contents

Role of the Global ToE Leader
The Global ToE leader will:
Chair and facilitate ToE meetings
Provide plans for global standards development and report ToE progress to the Sponsor (Business Process
Owner)
Together with the appropriate organisational unit, nominate corresponding members from GBU/BA/RBU
(and Linde Engineering and GIST if appropriate) when there is no ToE member representing these
organisational units, to ensure all relevant parts of Linde are represented when preparing drafts, reviewing
final drafts, etc.
Ensure that all global standards that might influence the quality of medical gases or Healthcares validation
of equipment, processes or systems are signed off by GBU Healthcare/Global Quality & Regulatory Affairs as
Quality Reviewer
Ensure that all proposed changes of Linde Gas minimum requirements for the design of Tonnage plants (ASU,
CO2 and HyCO) are communicated to the Linde Gas, Head of GTO Global Operations
Determine if a time frame for the implementation of a standard is required, if so ensure this is stated in the
Scope
Manage the work of Subject Matter Expert (if available) and Technical Writer
Provide input into the Global ToE budget and work within the agreed budget
Communicate ToE meeting agenda and minutes to the Sponsor
Ensure standards and attachments are approved by the Sponsor prior to being published
Ensure that the new standard is communicated according to IMS-05-06 : Creation of LiMSS Documents.

The role of ToE members
Members of the Global ToEs:
Provide source material and content expertise including examples of best practice to the ToE
Report related incidents and the results of incident investigations in the BUs they represent to the ToE
Review publications, within the scope of the ToE, issued by legislative bodies, international standardisation
organisations and gas associations (e.g. CGA and EIGA) and consider needed actions in Linde
Review draft documents within the agreed time frame
Raise awareness of LiMSS and the ToEs activities in their area of responsibility
An important role of those team members representing the RBUs is to ensure that all RBUs have input into the
work of the ToE, both for content and to ensure the impact of implementation is considered. Ensuring that all RBUs
are given the opportunity to input into the work of the ToE will:
Avoid unreasonable or unexpected demands on the regional business
Facilitate local implementation

The role of the Subject Matter Expert (SME)
A SME can be appointed by the GBU/BA/CSF Head and should be able to allocate the time required for ToE work.
The SME will typically:
Collect and review source content material such as legacy material, gas association publications, etc.
Liaise with ToE members regarding technical/content issues
Develop new content together with the Technical Writer

Each ToE should have a technical writing resource available. The Technical Writer will:
Provide technical writing advice to the ToE
Convert source content to LiMSS format according to the LiMSS writing standards
Edit content as required
Develop the final web and paper based versions of the standard
Advise relevant regional administrators when new/revised standards are published (see Administration

Guidance for ToE work
When writing LiMSS standards, the Global ToE will:
Consider and clearly define the purpose, scope and target audience
Ensure mandatory requirements (musts) are limited to essential efficiency, reliability or SHEQ requirements
Ensure the standard is clear and concise
The ToE work plan should consider the following general priorities:
Harmonise legacy standards based on risk, HPO/business priorities
Respond to major incidents
Maintain existing legacy organisation standards until incorporated in LiMSS
