Performance Metrics Subgroup Meeting DeWitt L. Beeler, Kaiser-Hill, L.L.C. Gail Jernigan, Westinghouse Savannah River Company October 23, 2002
Background... • Senior DOE leadership has asked EH-1 to provide regular reports on the status of DOE sites against a set of top-level performance metrics or “Focus Areas”. • They desire this process to be similar to the “annunciator panel” approach used by the commercial nuclear utility industry. • The EFCOG ISM Working Group has been requested to coordinate the response to this request, and has assigned its Performance Metrics Sub-Group the task of leading this effort. • Three meetings have been held (SR, Albuquerque, Atlanta) where agreement was reached on principles, format, and desired outcomes.
Goals... • Develop a set of top-level Focus Areas around which the reports to DOE-HQ will be structured. • Develop a standard reporting format, a standard set of color codes and definitions, and a standard process through which reports will be developed and submitted by DOE Field Offices. • Provide leadership and assistance to contractors and key DOE organizations to implement the standard process across the complex. • Key point: The task of the sub-group is not to design a new, comprehensive performance metrics system for the DOE complex.
Principles... • The primary purpose of gathering and analyzing performance data is to help managers make management decisions. • The use of an “INPO-type” format for reporting performance information is a useful approach for DOE. • The number of Focus Areas against which DOE Field Offices will report should be small and generically applicable across DOE operations. • The planned performance metrics reporting process will be based on standardized “format” features but will not require standard “content” features. • Overall: the desired approach is to get something workable in place, then improve as needed based on experience.
Features... Standardized: • Focus Areas • Process and schedule for report submittal. • Format • Colors and Definitions Not Standardized • Performance Indicators below the “Focus Area” level • Decision process for assigning color codes to performance
Focus Areas, “Special Emphasis Areas”, and sample Level 1 PIs
Colors and Definitions... • Blue: “Outstanding”. Performance which significantly exceeds expectations. • Green: “Good”. Performance which meets or exceeds expectations. Generally requires only normal management attention to maintain performance. • Yellow: “Marginal”. Yellow can be used to denote either of two conditions: • Borderline or declining performance, which needs increased management attention and resources to achieve desired performance or to reverse a negative trend. • Acceptable performance that relies on a set of conditions which could change and quickly send performance into the “Red” category. • Red: “Poor”. Performance which clearly does not meet expectations, and which needs significant management attention and resources to achieve desired level of performance. • White: “No Data”.
Remaining tasks... # Action Due By: 1. Publish final revised Point Paper and begin implementation at sites. 10/4/02 (Beeler/Jernigan) 2. Send letter to EFCOG advocates and points of contact (Beeler/Jernigan) 10/11/02 3. Meet with PSOs to explain system and expectations. (Pedde, Beeler, Yanek, 11/15/02 et al) 4. Discuss status and progress at EFCOG ISM WG meeting. 10/23-24/02 5. Optional roll-up reports submitted to PSOs for data through September 30, 12/1/02 2002 (“Dry Run” of the system). 6. Report results at ISM Conference in December. (Beeler/Yanek/Pedde) 12/5/02 7. First required roll-up reports submitted to PSOs for data through December 2/15/03 2002.
Issues that could be addressed... • Dictionary. • Eliminating overlaps between Focus Areas and “required” Level 1 PIs • “Reporting Cycle” description and dates • PSO information and involvement • Field Office information and involvement • Collecting and transmitting Lessons Learned
