Transition to a Data Centric Paradigm

CMBG Atlanta June 2013

OBJECTIVE

Address aspects of implementing an interconnected data centric CMIS, encompassing the entire CM Life Cycle, that supports timely validation & verification of plant safety, design, operations, and maintenance

2

GOALS

1. Define CMIS

2. Address the vision and planning process for implementation of a data centric CMIS

3. State challenges of CMIS implementation post EPC

4. Discuss benefits of CMIS in a post EPC realm

5. List Benefits of inclusion into an EPC

6. Identify Overall Lessons Learned

What is CMIS?

CMIS is an Information Repository that stores Plant Configuration Information in a “Single Source of Truth” that can be drawn upon by multiple Applications for controlling Plant Activities that depend on accurate, reliable, and easily retrievable information.

4

WHY CMIS• Necessary to effectively maintain information

configuration control in an increasingly expanding data driven society

• Document only approach will be unduly challenged to manage configuration control

• Continuous Improvement in work quality and processes

• Economics

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Needed changes in attitude and behavior

Compare similar transition issues from:

• Document Centric to Data Centric information control

AND

• Analog to Digital Controls

VCS CMIS Project Background

2007 AP1000 Builders Group development of utility data requirements

2008 began Configuration Management Software discussion with Software Vendors

2008 EPRI new build CM and handover initiatives 2008-2011 Information Gather Trips 2011 Developed Business Case 2012 Senior Staff approval 2012 Software Vendor Selected & Contract

Signed 2013 - 2014 Development in Five Phases

Business Problem

• Multiple Organizations exchange information.

• Transactions are primarily paper based

• Many disconnected data systems

• The same information exist within multiple applications

• Different names and meanings for same information

• Data Turnover format not compatible with Owner use

10

DEVELOPING CMIS

I. CMIS Vendor software products are tools

II. Ensure Department Input on Functionality and Content

III. Design CMIS as Single Source of CM Controlled Data

IV. Bound Data Scope to control Data Management Cost

V. Structure CMIS to Facilitate Data Turnover from Vendor

VI. Develop CMIS in Phases

VII. Ensure CMIS is easily Expandable

VIII.CMIS implements Plant CM from Const - Plant Ops life

11

Bounding Data Managed in CMIS• Managing CM at a Data Level requires additional

“overhead”• Considerations to determine what is controlled in

CMIS:– Importance to Protection of Health and Safety of

Public– Defines the Design & Licensing Basis– Operations Critical - Commercial risk value– Multiple application use– Frequency of use– Contains Data that has no formal controlled database– Used in required programs MR, DRAP, EQ, M&TE,

ISI, etc• Goal is to start with a Compact, high use data set

that can be expanded as value is realized12

Building Relationships

Many Document to Tag Relationships are built in the EPC Plant model.

Documents to Tag Relationships created in other tools have to be Manually Created.

Document to Document Relationships have to be Manually Created.

Take Advantage of the EPRI PIM Model Efforts

13

HOW IS SCANA DEVELOPING CMIS

I. Created a dedicated CMIS team composed of Stakeholder and IT personnel

II. Designated a Core Team of Stakeholders that is Empowered to provide input for each Department

III. Working with Intergraph for a Five Phased fast track implementation.

14

Core Team Member Responsibilities

I. Define Department Data Needs to be Configuration Controlled in CMIS

II. Provide input on Data Structure

III. Define Functionality Desired from CMIS

IV.Define Document/Data Relationship Structure

V. Participate in Testing Software

FIVE PHASE IMPLEMENTATION

POST EPC CHALLENGES

• Identification of required information

• Define information format for receipt

• Building Staff while developing and implementing CMIS

• Final Detailed Design Not Complete

• Working with Vendors post EPC

• EPC’s needs vs Owner/Operator17

End Results• One source of critical to function controlled data with

multiple attributes that are consumed by multiple applications and changed from one application.

• Data quality that can be confidently used by all levels of applications by specified milestones.

• Data and Document Relationships that will build a design basis taxonomy to support configuration control of changes and operability determinations of the plant.

• Ability to manage as-designed, as-specified, as-built, and as-tested configurations of the plant.

• Access to data and documents via the 2D and 3D Models• Electronic Delivery of Compliant, “as-built” Information for

Smarter Operation and Maintenance• Satisfied Happy Customers – User Friendly & Responsive18

BENEFITS OF INCLUSION INTO EPC

• Same as END Results for Post EPC Benefits

• Clearly defined information turnover expectations (what & format)

• Limited if any keying of information

• Improved & Faster validation of information

• No bow wave of information to address

• Capture of Tribal knowledge from Beginning

• Improved Customer /Vendor Alignment19

SUCCESS KEYS LESSONS LEARNED• Get IT involvement and input from the start

• Start Now – Planning takes years

• Stakeholder input received up front and built into the process

• Perform Business case early

• Obtain Senior staff approval and budget• Leverage industry expertise (EPRI,INPO,NEI, CMBG, NIRMA)

• Identify required Information and format

• Incorporate into the initial EPC contract

• Establish a DATA Steward Team

• Make IT your best Friend20

ILLUMINATING EXAMPLEChanged Attitudes and Behaviors

•Analog Film Camera to Digital Cameras (including Smart Phones)

•How many of us now regularly use film today vs 10 years ago.

•Now ask where information technology will be 10 years from now?

•This will also necessitate a continuous improvement in CM to stay abreast of the current and future challenges. 21
