Planning and Managing Evolutions - Continued

DOE-STD-1061-93

4.10

Given conflicting plans, conflicting priorities, or inappropriate facility conditions that

could affect facility safety or facility schedules, obtain the advice and guidance of

appropriate individuals and managers to verify the course of action to be taken.

Examples of leadership and management problems that have resulted in occurrence

reports such as a facility or process accident/event following an improperly conducted

test, a lack of control of testing disables or challenges safety systems, the failure to

secure the system when startup test conditions were exceeded, or the nonconservative

use of system trip setpoints during system startup.

Enabling

Learning

Objectives

Suggested Learning Activities:

4.1-4.3,4.5-4.9

Review and discuss the preparation necessary for special tests and

integrated facility operations with the operations manager or an

experienced shift supervisor. Emphasize methods for planning and

implementing complex evolutions including application of

problem-solving and decision-making fundamentals; bring out the

primary priorities and philosophical positions of management.

4.2, 4.7, 4.8

Use a case-study approach with emphasis on correct facility conditions

for special tests and the ability of the crew to support interdepartmental

requests that affect operations. Referenced operating experience can

support this activity.

4.1, 4.3-4.10

A simulator (for those facilities that have them) may be used to exercise

implementation skills in determining and establishing facility

conditions, coordinating operator activities, and establishing and

adjusting priorities.
