Not just power, possibility : storm planning solutions

Abstract

This project will focus on the actions and procedures that take place during storm related electric outages within an electric utility organization. An assessment will be made of the current organizational structure and personnel who are currently being utilized for storm restoration in order to determine areas of need and the effectiveness of the present storm plan. From this analysis plans will be developed to take advantage of new technologies and refine old processes to meet the demands of both internal and external customers. Throughout the project ongoing communication with management will help nurture the internal cultural changes along with providing the support for successfully implementing the changes towards efficiency. Ongoing evaluation after implementation will ensure that progress has been achieved and will further drive process efficiency changes.
