RECOMMENDATIONS
Ausgrids project management accept the quarterly report
EMD Workforce Development 23 May 2012 3
BACKGROUND
From January March, 2012, EMD undertook a final conditions starting review. This report was tabled at the NARMIG meeting held on XXXXX (FEBRUARY?), and represented the first formal quarterly review of the NAR improvement project. At this meeting on XXXXXX, NARMIG requested EMD proceed to undertake more work on the cost/benefit analysis, consult and revise the implementation plan, including the resource plan and GANTT chart. NARMIG also endorsed further work to be undertaken in relation to implementing forecasting, and to continue to proceed with the design of training for the NAR process. Consultation occurred with the following managers in the design of the implementation plan, resource plan and the GANTT chart. The cost/benefit analysis (and its additional work on cancelled NARS) was circulated to the NARMIG on 15 May 2012. The working implementation plan, including the resource plan, was circulated to the NARMIG on 22 May, 2012. This report contains a progress report on the additional work undertaken during March May 2012.
A draft checklist has been developed, and has had some feedback from staff reps, however, further consultation and design work on this has been suspended pending approval of the Working Implementation Plan.
STREAM 2 FORECASTING
(Peter you will need to complete) forecasting interim software process, SRR progress, Forecast work procedures
STREAM 5 - SEQUENCING
The option for a quick win here has been identified by EMD.
A number of areas of capability development have been identified as a result of reviewing the proposed transition from Snr DOps to NOCs of accountabilities in the NAR process to perform NAR checks. These are: technical advice for NARs (knowledge required) field switching experience for NARs (skills/knowledge required) As part of the implementation of the NAR process, a number of actions will be taken to develop these capabilities including but not limited to parallel checking by Snr DOps/NOCs. This professional development program could support and complement these initiatives, or stand on its own merits. Some of the suggestions for a development program have included the following: Assessment by the relevant manager of the capabilities of all NOCs to perform NAR checks, and assistance with identifying what development options may exist (eg., undertake the NAR training, or something additional for the individual) NOC rotation on a bi-monthly basis into the regions under their remit, one week at a time, to be located in the operations region, physically located either near to Snr DOps or IOs in that region (this depends upon the accommodation set up in each region) Attendance at regular management forums in the respective region, to give and receive feedback on the NAR process checks Onsite visits as part of the bimonthly rotation, with a Snr DOp to view strategic maintenance and commissioning projects underway (or about to be underway). The design of this professional development program could be included as part of the NAR project, or it could be undertaken as a separate exercise by Ausgrid.
