Early Problems
Sydney Water uses a 12 month defect liability period and a percentage of the project dollars are held for this period to ensure engagement of the contactors to sort problems out quickly. They have a number of penalty clauses in their contracts.
Warrantee Management
Snowy Hydro suggested that equipment items that are covered by Warrantee should be identified in spares and CMMS systems in an obvious way so that if problems occurs the warrantee responsibility can be followed up.
Organisational Structure
Snowy Hydro have recently integrated their maintenance and operations teams into one combined unit as they believe this will give them the best business result. They suggested it is best to get your organisational structure right before looking for ways to facilitate engagement to drive improvement.
Project Review/ Post Mortem
Snow Hydro suggested project reviews should be carried out at the full completion of a project but also again at 1 to 3 years after the completion, depending on the asset, to determine the success of the new asset.
Bluescope do a Close Out Report to ensure they actually did what they say they were going to do. There are also KPI’s setup to monitoring the ongoing effectiveness of the system.
Hunter Water have a Post Completing Review meeting every 6 months to review the success of the 3 or 4 projects completed in that period.
