Improvements application

You use the Improvements application to document the planned and actual costs and benefits of improving an existing business process or plant configuration.

In the Improvements application, you can do the following activities:

  • Plan, review, and approve new processes.
  • Review scheduling information.
  • Create work packages.

You can create work packages by grouping improvements under a new parent improvement. For example, if most tasks in a work package are completed, you can create a work package for the remaining tasks. The application creates another improvement record, which becomes the parent of the selected records. New task numbers are assigned to the tasks in the package.

If an improvement requires follow-up tickets or work orders, you can generate the following types of records from this application:
  • Action
  • Improvement
  • Incident
  • Investigation
  • Management of change
  • Management of change request
  • Release
  • Service request
  • Work order
Some organization-level improvement options must be specified before this application is used. To specify those options, select Oil and Gas Options from the More Actions menu in the Organizations application.
