Bundle Work to Rehab Failing Circuits in Less Time
By leveraging Work Bundling's database and scheduling tools, we developed a systematic approach to organize resources and rehabilitate a poor-performing circuit.
Unreliable Circuit Impacts Vulnerable Community
Our client identified a circuit plagued by frequent planned and unplanned outages, resulting in worried and dissatisfied customers who relied on circuit performance, especially the elderly in the community. Fragmented work planning and execution efforts on the circuit exacerbated the issue.
Tailored Work Plan Concentrates Efforts
After pinpointing a specific section of the circuit with the highest outage frequency, we collated all relevant maintenance tasks and devised a strategic work plan that prioritized work to increase reliability. The work plan emphasized a systematic approach to maximize maintenance completion within the available resources and outage window.
Work Bundling Avoids $335k in Costs
With Work Bundling, our client restored consistent power quickly by completing 203 maintenance jobs during a single month. The bundle’s execution avoided 79 additional redundant planned outages, conserved 0.59 SAIDI minutes, and avoided costs estimated at $335k. The consolidation of maintenance tasks optimized resource utilization by completing as much work as possible throughout the timeframe.
