Operational Readiness

Our Operational Readiness expertise is based upon our long and worldwide asset
management experience. We understand how to set up and deliver operations for our
customers . Our expedience across upstream, midstream and downstream, both onshore
and offshore, from consultancy to duty holder, and on to late life and decommissioning,
gives us the edge when it comes to Operational Readiness.

Whatever your asset, we can drive both efficiency improvement and continuous improvement, bringing the best of our 5
multi-industry experience to bear.

Operational Readiness assurance

The process of assuring that


all the required operational
deliverables are complete,
available and tested so
that they will perform as
expected at the time of
project handover to the 9
operator/owner.
Typical operational readiness activities
undertaken by us include:

►► Operator training, competency


assurance
►► Reliability, Availability and
Maintainability (RAM)
►► Opex studies & manning studies
►► Design reviews & operational
changes
►► Operations manuals and
operating procedures
►► Spares analysis & equipment
suitability
►► Operational readiness review
►► CMMS build
►► Performance standard assurance
►► Maintenance scheduling

Statement of fitness

Our robust approach means that


we can ensure that all testing is
successfully completed, and the
statement of fitness certificate for
your asset is signed ready for start-up.

RAM models can be developed at any stage during the


operate phase of the life cycle. However, if applied during the
design process, it can be used to maximise reliability and
availability in the design. The information can also be used to
develop life cycle costs for the plant. This type of information
is critical when comparing alternative design options or
equipment choices. The cheapest to purchase may have
significantly increased operate and maintenance costs.

Amec Foster Wheeler employs a comprehensive approach to add value across the lifecycle of an asset, which includes from development and concept planning to execution and decommissioning. They offer flexible commercial and business models supported by global EPC (engineer, procure, construct) expertise. Services are tailored to maximize efficiency and reduce costs throughout the asset's life, involving project delivery, operational readiness assurance, maintenance, spares and asset integrity management, and late-life and decommissioning strategies. Their global presence and multi-industry expertise allow them to integrate seamlessly various aspects of operations, ensuring support and optimization at every stage .

Amec Foster Wheeler integrates environmental considerations into its project management and operational readiness plans by providing comprehensive consultancy services that cover environmental compliance and sustainability. They perform due diligence and site assessments, develop environmental documentation such as Safety Cases and Emergency Response Procedures, and implement innovative technologies for effective environmental management. This approach ensures that all projects adhere to environmental regulations and support sustainable practices, allowing clients to minimize their environmental footprint while achieving operational efficiency .

The key components of operational readiness include a range of activities and systems designed to ensure that all necessary operational deliverables are complete, available, and tested before they are handed over to the operator/owner. This includes operator training and competency assurance, Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) studies, Opex and manning studies, design reviews, operational changes, development of operations manuals, spares analysis, equipment suitability assessments, and Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) build. These components are critical in ensuring the seamless transition from the design phase to operational readiness .

Amec Foster Wheeler leverages its global presence to enhance operational readiness by drawing on its vast network and multi-industry experience to offer region-specific solutions and best practices. Their expertise extends across various sectors and geographical locations, allowing them to provide tailored support, innovative technologies, and comprehensive services ranging from consultancy to full project execution. This global reach ensures they can adequately meet clients' operational needs anywhere in the world, effectively managing local conditions and regulations while adopting global standards .

MIMS, developed by Amec Foster Wheeler, contributes to operational readiness by effectively managing, structuring, and delivering CMMS data. It enhances the confidence in meeting CMMS operability requirements and has been successfully used in the delivery of over 40 CMMS systems. MIMS supports operational readiness by organizing maintenance data for easy accessibility and ensuring that maintenance systems are actively supporting the operational demands of a facility .

Amec Foster Wheeler manages the complexities of decommissioning projects using a combination of in-house capabilities and specialized services that include planning, engineering, management, and supervision for decommissioning, disposal, and restoration. They employ innovative tools such as laser scanning and 3D modelling to develop cost-effective 'de-construct' strategies. Their approach is supported by comprehensive consultancy services that address environmental, regulatory, and safety aspects, ensuring seamless execution and compliance throughout the decommissioning process .

Amec Foster Wheeler's competency assurance and training program prepares the workforce for operational challenges by providing tailored, site-specific operations and maintenance training programs. These programs integrate various training methods such as awareness training, knowledge-based web training, and skills training to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. The use of OperatorSuite™, a learning and competence management system, allows for monitoring and managing workforce training, making it easier to track progress and demonstrate training compliance. This structured and methodical approach helps ensure that the workforce is confident, competent, and safe in their operations .

Verification of readiness in Amec Foster Wheeler's operational readiness strategy plays a crucial role in ensuring that assets are prepared for safe and stable operations at start-up. This process involves comprehensive checks and assurance activities to confirm project readiness, asset integrity, and alignment with operational standards. It includes the issuance of a statement of fitness, which certifies that all necessary tests and validations have been successfully completed. This thorough verification process mitigates risks and supports a smooth transition from project completion to operational start-up, meeting both compliance and performance expectations .

Applying RAM models during the design process of a project is significant because it allows maximization of reliability and availability in the design phase itself. This proactive approach not only helps in ensuring that the system is optimized for operational efficiency but also aids in calculating life cycle costs. Knowing these costs upfront is crucial for comparing alternative design options or equipment choices, especially when initial purchase costs might not reflect long-term operational and maintenance expenses. Therefore, implementing RAM models early can lead to better-informed decision-making and cost savings over the asset's life cycle .

Amec Foster Wheeler employs several innovative technologies to ensure the effectiveness of their Operations Delivery System (ODS). These include Track & Trace technology for accurate spares and equipment tracking, smart technology for achieving Ready for Operations (RFO) status, and proprietary tools like GoTechnology® that assist in commissioning management and technical integrity. The ODS itself acts as a centralized portal providing all necessary data for decision-making and performance monitoring, ensuring that operations are supported by consistent and reliable data access .
