Focus Points Implementation
• Key users available
• Organize support on locations during go-live (business en projectpeople)
• Users experience working with WCM complex and confusing.
• Involve users in the project in an early stage
• Start simple and not with the whole proces at once
(not frequent clicking from object to object)
• Organize an user readyness test (simulate the proces with busness people M
en O), live scenario’s

27. WCM Electrabel NL 27
Improvements by WCM
In general
• Improved safety awareness, many people were involved in the project
• Similar method of working on 6 power stations, revision teams work at multiple
power stations
System
• No separate application necessary.
• Issue of workpermit and management of it is integrated in PM order process.
• Defining and management of lockout/tagout process uses SAP functional
locations and is integrated in approval process for work permit.

28. WCM Electrabel NL 28
Improvements by WCM
Working method:
• When preparing the work order, the workpermit can be prepared too (earlier).
• Improved safety awareness at work preparation
• Preparing the lockout/tagout can be done in advance by operations
• A first conflict check can already be done, when preparing the lockout/tagout
process.
System
• Clear segregation of tasks and duties (Maintenance -> WCA / Operation ->
WCD)
• Support by easy reports (WCL) for the status of securing the installation
• Improved collaboration between the departments (M & O) for preparing and
executing maintenance/safety activities.
