Operations ReadinessOperations Readiness is the process of preparing the custodians of an asset under construction (and the supporting organisation) such that, at the point of delivery/handover, that organisation is fully prepared to assume ownership of the asset, accepts responsibility for, (and is capable of), performing the safe and efficient operation of that asset in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.AssuranceIn this context, refers to the act of providing assurance to the various stakeholders in a project or venture that both their asset and supporting organisation is in a state of Readiness to Operate, (or that it will be, by the time the acceptance and handover process starts).OR&A ProcessOR&A is a continuous process that is implemented from the earliest point in a project, ending after a successful handover to the asset custodian is achieved.Involvement of the operations team as early as possible in the project ensures that critical decisions can be validated during the project concept, incorporating Lessons Learned and Best Practice examples from earlier projects and avoiding many of the mistakes often made in the pre-feed and early design phases when practical operational experience is often overlooked. Using this approach, Life-Cycle cost and Total Cost of Ownership is often significantly reduced, however, this can only be achieved by application of a structured process (OR&A) and a rigorous governance process to monitor compliance.None of this is useful unless it can be communicated to all the relevant interested parties, and that is where the OR&A Solution excels.The OR&A Solution offers a secure web based interactive solution that can be deployed in minutes and accessed from any internet ready location, by any number of users, simultaneously providing a level of information exchange and oversight that has until now been unavailable.OR&A Ltd. is an ISO9000 registered company.
