The Total System Assurance Journey

Working with you, BSC integrates the four operational pillars:

  • Plant
  • People
  • Process
  • Premises

 

with our four key stages of work. So that together we understand the factors that create success in your organisation.

This approach provides you with a better understanding of what it is critically important to manage. So that you know in detail, what could jeopardise success.

This means that together we identify what determines the levels of risk.

This often uncovers surprising dependencies that are seemingly unconnected yet hold the power to jeopardise success.

``A new model of what should be in place to achieve success``

Operational Assurance

Our purpose is to help you understand the fundamental criteria that drive your ongoing business success. In the typical journey of Total System Assurance we consider the dynamics of plant, people, process and premises at each of the four key stages.
  • The 4 P’s (Plant, Premises, People and Process) are at the heart of BSC’s Operational Assurance Service. For operational excellence each ‘P’ must be considered and optimised. The best people working with aging or poor condition plant will lead to operational issues. New or good condition plant being operated by people without the required processes, procedures, awareness and training will also cause operational issues.
  • BSC act as our clients representative while examining the plant, the facility and the service providers operational processes and procedures related to the mechanical and electrical infrastructure within the facility.
  • Our independent, impartial benchmarking reviews and operational assurance programmes have helped our clients around the globe improve their operational delivery and provide a roadmap to operational excellence.

Operational Preparedness

What is Operational Preparedness?

  • The success of a construction project goes beyond completing the project on time, on specification and on budget. The true measure of success is achieving the operational vision for the facility and allowing the facility to be utilised to its fullest potential.
  • Operational Preparedness ensures that the operational team has the awareness, knowledge, skills, information and operational training required to realise the operational vision, and to successfully operate the facility from the outset and beyond.
