Electronic Design Change Process

1. Electronic Design Change Process Paul Tobin Jr.- PKMJ Technical Services

2. Electronic Design Change Process • Utilities struggle with the process of managing complicated design changes • This results in many Condition Reports that are generated for a variety of different administrative reasons

3. Our Goals • User Interface custom developed to comply with site procedural requirements • Automate manual steps within the process • Eliminate Administrative Errors • All procedural requirements are electronically entered into system • Maintain strong connection to plant configuration • System is database driven/field by field

4. Our Approach • Replace paper forms with electronic screens • Maintains document revisions in one place • Integrates with external information to maintain configuration • Design changes are searchable and clone-able

5. Key Benefits • Removes “gray area” procedure interpretation • 10CFR 50 Appendix B Electronic signature • Electronic forms support OPS acceptance • Integration into Training Qualifications • With electronic signature, packages can be developed and issued to records without re-scanning • Manage Records Updates

6. Key Benefits • Simplifies Fleet integration • Eliminates difference in package formats • Simplifies process requirements • Eliminates the need to learn site specifics • Contains routing lists, making site contact and site personnel changes transparent • Allows replication of similar designs

7. Non-Engineering Impacts • Support work flow for incorporation of comments from SME’s • Integration to impacted departments outside of engineering • Procedures • Training • Chemistry • Operations • Other

8. Integration • Integrates to current systems • Work Management • Document Control • Equipment Data • Inventory Data • Training

9. Technology • Hosted Web Application • Allows for fleet cloning of solutions • Potential for industry cloning/collaboration
