The newSellafield Ltd Management System (SLMS)Facilitating a safer, more effective means of conducting business through collaborative teamwork
Howard CooperHead of Quality, Sellafield Ltd
Karine Rackham Management System Manager, Sellafield Ltd
Dan PlungProgramme Manager, URS
The challenge
• Replace a management system that had become difficult to use, contained ineffective arrangements, and had limited credibility among the user base
• Establish a system that would facilitate and support the new management team’s commitment to “effective working”“making changes to our systems and processes and, by removing some of the barriers to effective working, making it easier to get work done and also to stop work that doesn't add value”
• Establish reasoned consistency across Sellafield Ltd
• Support paced and sustained change
• Align programme structure to business strategies
• Ensure compliance with ISO-9001 and ISO-14001
• Provide for improved interaction with regulators
The approach: return to fundamental principles
• Reorient system to focus on users
• Collectively engage users and process owners– in enhancing processes to improve safety and efficiency
– in assessing and addressing implementation strategies
• Align ownership, accountability and responsibilityfor arrangements, compliance and site licence conditions
• Create an enhanced document architecture and delivery platform
• Promote development of user-orientated arrangements
• Design structure to provide long-term system sustainability
• Provide traceability to obligations
Phase 1: Build an infrastructure to enhance safety and effectivenessthrough improved quality, useand access to arrangements
A simplified hierarchy• Simple and clear relationships among document types
• Discrete document purposes
A single integrated management system
An intuitive configuration based on business processes (topic areas)
“Topic” Manuals and a collection of end-user oriented “How Do I?”• Designed for usability• Exclusive focus on task/activity

Essential components of the new management system
• Single point of accountability for processes (topic areas) • Disciplined process of appointments (Process Owners/Reviewers)• Implementation strategy agreed during development of
arrangements• Enhanced visibility of interactions among processes• Engaged personnel reflecting corporate perspective / Management
commitment:– Process Owners: have exclusive accountability for their topic – Designated Reviewers: represent the Directorate perspectives (users)– Subject Matter Experts: assist with development and implementation– Heads of Manufacturing: provide enhanced user (OU) perspective– Process Sponsors: establish expectations, resolve outstanding issues
Develop high quality and proportionality of arrangements through collaborative process
Establish a document structure that clearly communicates (and delineates among) the ‘how’, ‘what’, and ‘why’

Local Working Documents
Policies state executive level expectations.Charters provide executive endorsement for execution of a plan, task, or activity (e.g. Terms of Reference for a governance committee).
Manuals/Plans describe and state the rules and strategy for a planned process or programme of work.
SL Supporting Practices give detailed instruction or guidance on a process, programme, task or activity.
SLPs inform individuals how to:•request delivery of a service •complete a specific task or activity.
Local Working Documents (e.g. Operating Instructions, Maintenance Instructions,).
Provide user-oriented arrangements: the new Sellafield Ltd Practices (SLPs)
• “How Do I?” oriented• Prescribe how to complete a
single, discrete activity• Provide only the detail needed to
successfully complete the task (majority <10 pages)
• Facilitate more effective, less time-consuming reviews (including emphasising focus on process)
• Contributes to reduced publication cycle time (4-6 weeks from draft to publication)

Phase 2: Manage the Transition
Supporting timely issuance of arrangements
• Process Owners set schedules
• Priorities aligned with the ICP, Nuclear Safety programme and Strategic Business Imperatives
• Reduced requirement for lower-tier implementing documents
• Business Change Managers engaged
• Legacy arrangements withdrawn when safe/appropriate
76% of documents published to schedule (app. 60% of total forecast)
Actively engaging and supporting users to ensure an effective transition...
• Process Owners and Designated Reviewers
• Key stakeholders (Executive, Regulators, NDA)
• Intranet / Energize• Demo facility• Team 4 action• Human Performance• Face to face briefings• Animated demo tool • Left hand zone and FAQs• Supportive feedback • >90% queries answered within
2 working days• Awareness and navigation
briefings for over 2200 key users
Implementing arrangements collaboratively and proportionally
• Implementation is agreed during development of arrangements
• Implementation effectiveness is a collaborative activity
• OUs implement• Process Owners provide needed
support / oversight
• Proportional implementation strategy
• Isolations – formal training• DSEAR Process – testing• Administrative SLPs – notices/
communications
…and identifying metrics to validate effective SLMS performance and identify improvements
• Metrics identified to provide a clear measure of SLMS performance and sufficient trending information to allow timely adjustments, as warranted
• Metrics derived through careful consideration of a number of factors:– principles embedded in ISO-9001, Quality Management System
Requirements and GS-R-3, The Management System for Facilities and Activities;
– principles that served as the foundation for the system’s development;
– and the risks explored in the Management of Change (MoC) assessment completed in the months before the system went live
• Metrics have evolved over the first year of the system’s operation• Metrics are reported to Process Owners and Process Sponsors
(Executive) monthly, further amplified by an annual self assessment report
