Too often I see investigations like RCAs being completed months after the event occurred, or worse still, not even triggered to start with. By automatically triggering investigation actions based on site derived business rules, everyone can see the current investigations, due dates and people responsible. Simple visibility of this information can help drive a production improvement culture change that is inclusive of all departments. Optimum's TARP module as shown here, is a purpose built solution that becomes a sites continuous improvement platform. Learn more about TARP here. Manage the investigation process to make step changes Once an investigation action is created, a solution needs to be able to manage it through to completion. The management of an investigation action does not have to be complex. Simple roles and responsibilities along with well-defined improvement processes and regular meetings are generally enough to ensure investigations are completed and recorded correctly on-time. By working on activities that are directly related to production improvement, real step changes are made and return on investment is realised. Finally we have a real business case justification for implementing an Asset Optimization solution. Become the repository of all recorded corrective actions One of the most important outputs of an Asset Optimization solution will be the historical record of all corrective actions. With this information at hand, a site can quickly refer to past improvement actions for related issues. You may find that an issue was not solved the first time, having this record enables a site to learn and adapt to find alternative solutions to ensure re-occurring issues stop for good. When you go beyond Delay Accounting, you are committing to challenge the norms by setting new industry standards. You are no longer accepting that time usage methodologies developed last century support the best practices for today. You
