Operations Based Controls
Assessment |
|
Leveraging our world-wide industry
operations experience and expertise with controls
assessment, we directly support management in monitoring in
assessing the ongoing operating risks to the business.
Whether generation, transmission, or distribution
operations, we focus on assessing operating risk across
seven topics. |

Our
personnel accomplish
operating controls and compliance
assessments by:
-
Reviewing key control
documents
(strategies, policies, processes, procedures, work
flows, and enabling technologies)
-
Interviewing management
personnel to gain
an understanding of the competency, maturity and
business acumen of the management team
-
Directly observing key
meetings, field
and control room/dispatch operations and
maintenance/work activities
-
Performing analysis
of operations, maintenance, work control and outage
performance data
-
Acquiring direct knowledge
of asset condition and housekeeping
by performing in-depth plant/field walk downs
We
then evaluate and analyze current performance against
internal benchmark data as well as world-wide better
practices to build a comprehensive view across the
operation.
Our
operating controls assessment experience includes
a variety of regulated and merchant power plants (CCGT, GT,
