OR&A™
Solution
Management Commitment
The key to successful
implementation of the OR&A™
process is the commitment of management to the principles of OR&A™,
backed up by the allocation of adequate funds and resources. If this
Corporate / Management buy-in is not demonstrated from the outset and
maintained throughout the implementation of the process to its
conclusion, the benefits of the OR&A™
process will never be fully realised..
Management Structure
For any project to be managed, a
Control Framework (Management Structure) is also required, this usually
takes the form of Directives, Regulations, Rules, Policies and
Procedures. This Control Framework is normally expressed as a defined
Corporate Management System with a formal hierarchy, supported by a
clearly defined Designated Authority Matrix. If such a robust structure
exists, implementing OR&A™
will be much easier to achieve
OR&A Solution
Deployment of the OR&A™
on a Project is achieved using the OR&A™
Process which guides users through the entire process. ORDITA
(the Operations Readiness Database, Implementation & Tracking
Application) requires minimal user training and minimal set-up of
the software, allowing the user to start using the system in a matter of
minutes.
The OR&A™
Solution is fully populated with step-by-step guidance on deploying the
OR&A™
process on a project, it does not require us to deploy a large team of
expensive 'experts' or delay your project by repeating your earlier
work. It is easily tailored to fit your exact requirements (if the
standard 'out of the box' version is not and exact fit).
The OR&A™
Solution is hosted on a secure, private, managed cloud server and
provides everything needed to deploy, monitor and manage the OR&A™
process on one or more projects, each of which is invisible to the
others and can only be accessed by secure login credentials.
Though very easy to use, the user
will need to understand a few key OR&A™
terms and a few key OR&A concepts to enable its use to be clearly
explained and understood. The
OR&A™
Terminology & Glossary page (accessed from the 'About OR&A' button on
the ORDITA screen header) lists all of these terms together with a short
definition, but the more important ones are explained in detail.
Starting ORDITA
The ORDITA main 'Project & Audit Selection' screen opens
immediately after a login to the OR&A Solution is completed. There is no
complicated process to master, simply select the project to work with by
clicking on the appropriate 'Manage this Project' button.
