  2. Issues Addressed • How formal margin management program is integrated into processes • What is the benefit of margin management program / model • Do we need to baseline our margin? • Consistent definition of design vs operational margin • Criteria for evaluation & prioritizing margin Cleveland 2005

  3. Margin Management Integration into Processes • Existing programs address margin • Use margin as part of Plant Health Committee • Margin Review Board • Top Ten lists include margin issues Cleveland 2005

  4. Margin Management Integration into Processes (cont.) • Address margin in calcs, mods & system health reports • Use questionnaire to solicit margin issues Cleveland 2005

  7. Do We Need to Baseline? • Evaluate your accumulated experience • Treat as assessment • Baseline areas that show adverse trend • Use as-needed • Develop tools to track issues but not all margins Cleveland 2005

  8. Consistent Definition of Design vs Operational Margin • INPO developing training module • Brief discussion in AP 929 Cleveland 2005

  9. Criteria for Evaluation & Prioritizing Margin • Include in Health Report • Plant Health Committee prioritizes with other issues • Assign points in existing prioritization scheme • Evaluation based on risk • Evaluated case-by-case Cleveland 2005
