Body
The Maximo Nuclear Industry
Solution has dealt with some of what’s below the surface through its Impact
Planning process.Impact Plans provide: –
Identify legal and administrative
conditions and actions which may be required to prepare for and or execute the
work –
Indicate the need for retesting,
make general comments about and identify any PMs that would satisfy the retest
requirements –
Identify equipment unavailability
and relate that to specific tasks of the work plan thereby providing detailed
input into the risk assessment process –
Evaluate Risks; Indicate
perquisites, precautions and operational work coordination concerns. –
Indicate all expected events
and plan a response for each –
Identify all the coordination
elements of the work by indicating the group / person that should be notified
and / or that are needed to support the work. –
Identify and or Generate Permits:
Type (Hot Work, Confined Space, Scaffold etc.) Location , Permit Specific Job
Plans, Classifications, and Specifications Like Job Plans, Impact Plans are reusable and can be created during PM generation of Work Orders. Impact Planning is a good
foundation to support the growing complexities of managing work on your
assets. Many of you have already looked under the wrappers of the “Nuclear”
industry solution and found sound process (Impact Plans, Clearances [replaces core’s
lockout / Tagout application], Permits, and Corrective Actions) that you will implement in your regulated industry If these are areas of interest

On any given day it may be challenge enough to ensure your
work plan has the up to date steps and proper resources (material, manpower and tools) to complete a
job on time. Now take several steps back
and think about what it took to get to that point of trouble free execution.
I think you will find the work plan is just the tip of the iceberg.
