Class summary This class will discuss the value of standardization as a channel of innovation for the usage of Inventor software, AutoCAD Electrical software, SDS toolkits and Vault software.
Key learning objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to: Discover effective practices in the utilization of standards Understand the difference between standard setup vs. standard design Recognize dangers of a non-standard setup Discover how effective practices can be a product of standardization
Effective Practices in the Utilization of Standards
What is standardization? Let’s watch this video on standardization… http://youtu.be/nDv5lC8YJpk
What is standardization? Everyone follows a set series of steps to complete a process without variation Doesn’t mean there’s no variation in the data Regional Retail Designs Establishes guidelines that are auditable at every step Produces same result time after time
Duke Energy Transmission Engineering 5 Engineering Offices (Charlotte, Raleigh, Lake Mary, Plainfield, Cincinnati) each with 100+ yrs of history Over 7700 Electrical Substations in 6 states
What do we mean by standards? At Duke Energy: Utility specific retail standards 5 regional offices How do we handle these differences at Duke Energy? Centralized Standards group
What do we mean by standards? VP of Engineering Regional Engineering Offices Asset Management FL OH IN RAL CLT Design Tool Standards Best Practice Team 2 ACADE ea region 2 Inventor ea region
What do we mean by standards? At Industry Level: SDS Industry Consortium Standardized Library Development Standardized Workflows Standardized Training
What do we mean by standards? At Company Level: Retail Standards/Circuits Standardized Duke Energy Library Development Standardized Duke Energy Workflows Standardized Duke Energy Training
Manufacturer Supplied Industry Standards Common core attributes (nameplate data): Manufacturer Voltage High/ Low Current Rating Serial Number Weight Model Number SDS Library Manufacturer Supplied Vendor Supplied Engineering Produced
Standard Setup vs. Standard Design
Standard Setup vs. Standard Design Duke Energy users receive Icon menu as Standard setup In ACADE Icons used to access library items
Standard Setup vs. Standard Design Components (IEEE) – Enterprise Standard Grouped Components - Standard Retail Schemes
Standard Setup vs. Standard Design Standard Retail Circuits starting point for regional design
Standard Setup vs. Standard Design Enterprise Circuit Breaker 3D Model
Standard Setup vs. Standard Design Regional Retail Standard
Regional Engineering Offices Master Librarian Role VP of Engineering Regional Engineering Offices Asset Management FL OH IN RAL CLT Design Tool Standards Master Librarian 1 ACADE ea region 1 Inventor ea region
Librarians receive and pass L3 training and examination SDS Library Librarians receive and pass L3 training and examination Checkpoint for their region’s library Part of librarian BPT Re-use parts/assemblies region to region Periodically audit other region’s library Ensure standardization Develop best practices
Dangers Of Non-Standardization
Non-Standardization Promotes Waste Non-value added activities Making changes to multiple sheets rather than one place Manual BOM validation Cross referencing multiple sheets manually Construction confusion cost big $$ Engineering diagnostics cost $
Promotes risk in the business Non-Standardization Promotes risk in the business Risk of only 1 or 2 people knowing how to do a job What happens if they retire? Or just leave? Work becomes an island No path to get there No path to get from there Ex. Library Items are not re-useable We don’t know what we’ve got Ex. Duke Energy library re-build AGAIN
Promotes human performance issues in the business Non-Standardization Promotes human performance issues in the business Customer service is different depending on who serves you Each engineer does things differently What if he or she leaves? Construction spends time interpolating each engineer’s deliverable
Why do we need standards? Repeatable deliverable We know exactly what we’re going to get Repeatable configuration Makes support easy Repeatable library foundational items Governance Q/A is simpler Items are re-useable
Why do we need standards? Repeatable deliverable We know exactly what we’re going to get Repeatable workflows Q/A becomes simpler Best practices can truly be achieved Build on the foundation
Why do we need standards? Eliminate Setup Variation Multiple different deployments/configuration per office Makes support difficult Problem Diagnostics difficult
Why do we need standards? Minimize output variation No matter who does the work, get same result .
Effective Practices As A Product Of Standardization
Effective Practices From Standardization Minimize variation No matter who does the work, get same result Standard Configuration/Installation Standard Library Development Standard Training Standard Workflow Produces same results regardless of Duke Energy region
Effective Practices from Standardization Standard Software Deployment Desktop Based Citrix Based Makes troubleshooting much easier Next upgrade has common foundation to start from and understand new version deltas With standardization, you know where you come from so you can find a path to where you want to go to
Effective Practices from Standardization Minimize variation No matter who does the work, get same result Standard Configuration/Installation Standard Library Development Standard Training Standard Workflow Produces same results regardless of Duke Energy region
Manufacturer Supplied Effective Practices Repository Manufacturer Supplied Vendor Supplied Engineering Produced
Industry Repository w/Std Attributes Effective Practices Duke Energy Library Industry Repository w/Std Attributes
Effective Practices Minimize variation No matter who does the work, get same result Standard Configuration/Installation Standard Library Development Standard Training Standard Workflow Produces same results regardless of Duke Energy region
Industry Standards SDS Training L1 Parts Builder L2 Designer L3 Librarian
Effective Practices Minimize variation No matter who does the work, get same result Standard Configuration/Installation Standard Library Development Standard Training Standard Workflow Produces same results regardless of Duke Energy region
Effective Practices Industry Repository w/Std Attributes Duke Energy Std Library Produce Duke Energy Regional Stds Standard Workflow Produce Capital Projects Effective Practices
Effective Practices Can get industry Std Library parts Make them utility Specific Use your library to Make assemblies and Catalog items from Std parts
Equipment Arrangements Structures Equipment Arrangements
Effective Practices Can build retail Standards into library Use standards as Start of project work
Effective Practices Build out entire project
Effective Practices Standard Detail Drawings/section cuts
Effective Practices Standard details
Effective Practices Minimize variation No matter who does the work, get same result Standard Configuration/Installation Standard Library Development Standard Training Standard Workflow Produces same results regardless of Duke Energy region
Standardize Processes We know exactly what we’re going to get No matter who does the work, get same result Repeatable process across Duke Energy Every region’s users: Have same installation/configuration Same library development/governance process Same software workflows even with different standard retail designs Same SDS training program
Session Feedback Via the Survey Stations, email or mobile device AU 2014 passes given out each day! Best to do it right after the session Instructors see results in real-time
