The project scope included a solution search for an operations compliance management system (OCMS), followed by project implementation and ongoing support. The final installation would govern operations across eight natural gas power generating stations and set the stage for future solution expansions. The process started in March 2017 when key stakeholders, including corporate and IT staff, along with other personnel responsible for compliance management, met with Trinity in a two-day needs assessment workshop to define objectives, roles, responsibilities, system requirements, and a logical path forward.
Prior to the engagement, the company recognized several blind spots in their EHS regulatory management process. Daily activities, reporting deadlines, and key compliance requirements were being overlooked across their dispersed operating footprint, and the need for a more transparent, centralized, and standardized compliance platform was set as a top priority.
Any selected solution would have to streamline risk management at federal, state, and local levels, within the confines of a lean workforce profile tuned to the operating needs of each plant facility. Furthermore, any OCMS the company selected would have to accelerate continual process, training, and operational improvements going forward.
