The Problem
Standardization of business processes presented a challenge for this client due to the scale of their upstream enterprise, which consists of 11,000 oil and natural gas wells in hundreds of fields.
As a multinational company, employees wanted an easy to use solution to manage their complex business while improving global participation. Recognizing the necessity for procedures in English as well as in native languages, multilingual procedure development was identified as the next frontier of human performance.
Challenges
- Poor quality of procedures
- Inconsistent equipment data
- Custom print views needed for different use cases
- Ad-hoc workflow processes
- Content and layout not designed for human factors
Solution
The goal of standardization to improve safety and regulatory adherence involved cleanup of equipment data and a rewrite of the majority of the business units procedures.
