Whereas the earlier book, written in 2011, explained the concept of Operations Readiness and the need to have Assurance that any given project would be ready to begin operations immediately after handover, it did not address how this could be achieved in a practical way.The OR&A Solution is the only commercially available software, created specifically for deploying the OR&A process on major projects. It has now been developed, tested, deployed and used successfully for more than 10 years.This new version of the book, produced in both print and e-book formats, still retains the original content, but this is significantly enhanced and supported by practical examples that describe the Operations Readiness & Assurance (OR&A) Solution software and the OR&A process as experienced by David Powell in an OR&A capacity on a number of mega-projects (each with a total value in excess of US$ 1 billion).The book frequently refers to the OR&A process, particularly the OR&A Solution and Tools which were created specifically to satisfy the requirements of deploying and implementing OR&A on such projects.Over recent years the system has been enhanced substantially and now has pre-populated templates for renewable energy, hydrogen, carbon capture and recycled aluminium. It is easily adaptable to any and all such projects.You can find out more about OR&A including those products and services, by visiting the website at:https://www.or-and-a.co.ukOR&A and the OR&A Solution are ISO9000 and ISO20815 compliant and the OR&A Solution was recently recommended by Lloyds Register of Energy as an ‘Industry Best Practice’.
