One of the many challenges that Canadian oil and gas facilities face is the lack of transparency and accountability that paper-based reports offer in a maintenance environment. Operators are often left with partial, incomplete, or outdated information that requires additional work to verify.
Fortunately, modern technology offers a solution that provides detailed execution and quality documentation at every step. These Digital Work Packages, available exclusively at MSCP, transform what oil and gas facilities expect from their maintenance providers.
Challenges Posed With Paper-Based Work Documentation
Digital Work Packages replace the classic paper-based approach to work documentation and verification. Historically, crews completed projects in the field, and quality forms were completed after the fact by a quality representative. The main challenge with this process is that the work has already been completed by the time the quality representative carries out their inspection, leaving no opportunity to check the work during the process.
These paper-based quality forms then become a “dead” document consigned to a quality binder, never to be worked on or reviewed again. Vital information for continuous improvement and process optimization is then lost forever. The ramifications of relying solely on paper documentation can be felt for years in system problems and falling behind in innovation because potential issues weren’t identified in real time.
That’s why MSCP implemented Digital Work Packages for all the scopes of work performed by our Team. Our clients have found these packages bring peace of mind that not only has all work been completed to specification, but they also have visual documentation of how their assets looked on a specific day.
What’s included in MSCP’s Digital Work Packages?
Our Digital Work Packages are standardized across all of our Heat Management Solutions. Each work package contains:
- Comprehensive detailed step-by-step guide to complete every task
- A complete set of drawings relevant to the task
- A Bill of Materials clearly listing items required to complete the job
- All Safety and Quality documents associated with the scope
As work is completed, detailed information and high-resolution photos are captured to show progress where required. There isn’t a more comprehensive way to track work at oil and gas facilities being offered in our industry today.
The Benefits of Digital Work Packages to Our Customers
Digital Work packages from MSCP offer a whole host of benefits compared to paper-based work verification systems, including:
- Quality is assured with every job while it is being performed, reducing the number of corrections and re-work required when doing checks after the fact.
- Crews perform the work with an elevated level of confidence that all required documentation and materials will be available at the work front
- Quality is further encouraged as the Digital Work Package lays out the steps required for completion of a task, acting as a virtual quality control check on whether all necessary activities have been performed
- The Digital Work Packages are available for review not only at the work front but also by operations personnel, who can act to ensure that they are being completed satisfactorily and move to introduce improvements where required
- Easy access to the information in a digital format enables reporting across multiple jobs, ensuring that any variations across the work performed by the company are caught and acted upon
- Turnover of completed work is made more accessible as the Digital Work Package is sufficient for the client to review, reducing the need for quality checks
- Reporting on completed Digital Work Packages makes it easy to track schedule and performance, which simplifies reporting to the client who can securely access complete information at the click of a button
The key to all these benefits boils down to MSCPs push to reduce variation in all work performed by our team.
